' Perhaps we should acquisate a guillotine?

  Great idea 

[Sir Tigger KC]

That's irritating fluffy to tease what's coming after the never ending adverts about all the medical diseases you didn't realise you had until the advert.

If you think our tellybox is dire, you should see some of the shite they have to put up with

Thousands of channels of shite as well.

In the words of Roger Waters, "Iv'e got 16 channels of shit on the t/v to choose from". They've obviously added a few since then.

Fixed the Corsa handbrake. Nothing broken in the end. Had just jumped off mounts and seized a bit. Cleaned, greased and reassembled and adjusted and all is well. One happy Harry.

Not sure if they are still the same but they had a shorter cable leading to each rear brake and dirt would sit in the pivoting groove and eat away at or pinch the cable. The main cable from the handbrake is generally fine and when they do snap it’s just the short part that needs replacing.

Yes. I think the passenger side short one to the drum is where it started going wrong. Still all in one piece for the moment. Looks like it has some life left yet. ESP now zits all greased up. Quite shocked none of it was broken.

Speaking of the Corsa C.....our car has soaking wet carpets on the driver side floor (behind pedal area is perfectly dry)

Both scuttle drains cleared out the first time it happened.

Where is the water coming from??

Seal on the bulk head plate where the master cylinder mounts has failed, big job to remove but, had 100% long term success rate by loosening it and forcing sealant in (polyurethane) and re-tightening. Must have done ten of them over the years

2003 vintage and only 29000 miles.

It's not a rust bucket like your car, the one with a tranny lump.

There was a tranny lump on breakfast tv earlier.
