Watched that canter on ebay and thought it may have fetched a little more

I'll have to watch out for you in Newcastle and make sure you don't drive over the top of my Ranger in your Tonka truck!! My mate got a tool box from Northern Tool for his truck and it is rather corroded after 18 months and the latch no longer works properly.

Ouch, time to get her working and earning today then

I feel for ya, you will have spent a few k getting her back on the road. Nightmare but worth it in the end.

Did you ask for the old drums and shoes back??

 

I can understand the drums rusting and that rust destroying the shoes, but for the drums to be trashes seems very strange.

The problem is that the drums don't rust all over, you can clean them up but if they are pitted there will be differences in the grip which will give a pulsed reading on the brake test, running it for a while can fix this but clearly without an MOT that's not an option.

 

New parts cost money but so does a re test

[skyhuck]

Could they not be skimmed on a lathe?

By the time you've done all that its usually just as cheap to put new drums on.

 

My iveco (18 tonner) had similar issues with being left parked up, I had new drums fitted to get through the first test.
