Hi All,
My Safari failed roadworthy today because the stoneguard (just in front of gearbox?) has been rubbing on one of four pipes leading to/from the accumulator (to brakes?). The stoneguard has now been cleared away, but not before it started a small leak in the pipe.
Options considered so far:
1. Local (Canberra) mechanic has suggested braizing the pipe - but wasn't too sure about it. My understanding is that it should at least be silver soldered.
2. Local brake specialists not interested in looking at it. (Surprise, surprise.)
3. Local Enzed is not licenced to look at a braking system. But, he's happy to look at this as it is not 'strictly' a braking ysytem. He has suggested - over the phone - that he can re-sheath the offending section of pipe.
4. Deliver the car to a Cit specialist in Sydney, but I'd dearly love to avoid this trip.
I've booked her in to Enzed on Saturday morning. I would dearly love to hear any constructive views on this option, as well as any alternatives.
Regards
Paul
