    poorly car... again

    woohoo!! Sorted the ****** thing, finally. I got the replacement bolt, but instead of it being a standard bolt head like the original, it was a 14mm allen head, and its taken the last week to find someone who actually stocks a tool of that size. Got the tool today, put the bolt in, tightened...

Stopped off...

    losing brake fluid

    Update: The brakes are completely fine, in fact better than my last car, and that had no leak lol. I think I may have narrowed down where it is leaking from, although still no idea where it goes. I have noticed some fluid staining on the 'face' of the servo, from the master cylinder downover...
