Braking point...

...

Buddha knows why I'm not at it (it's not a typo, bear with me)...on the return from a weekend in Bristol, I luckily decided I needed to empty my bladder, and so pulled off into a service station, and pulling into the parking spot I notice a prominent rattling sound emanating from the engine bay.

After much deliberation, I had come to the conclusion that it was somehow brake master cylinder/brake booster related, as the brake pedal sank to the bulkhead when the noise recommenced, and would also pulse. So, I was pretty much left with no brakes, 80mi from home, in freezing temperatures, though I was fortunate to have a service lodge to lounge around in for 4 hours!



I just don't know why I bother sometimes, should've just left the vehicle there to curse someone else! Anyway, the car is now at a local garage I know well, hopefully get a quotation soon.
