brakes...

9th August 2006, 13:15

i took my car into the garage over the weekend as my drive shaft had broke!

they fixed it for me and i was chuffed but the guy said that when the car was in the air he saw that the rear nearside brake calliper was leaking. not much but he said its okay to drive and i should keep an eye on it but i want to fix it, hopefully myself!

now iv not done much with brakes so this is fairly new stuff to me, does anyone know what might need replacing/ fixing?

and if you could give me any advice on how to do it that would be ace!

i will try and get some pic's but im not to sure where the leak is coming from!

cheers!

Depends where it is leaking from, the brake hose, the bleed nipple or the piston? Take off the wheel and have a good look, it may be worth just getting a s/h or reconditioned caliper.
