    Air continuously getting in brake line

    Must be the calliper, did you check the seal was fitted the right way around

    Air continuously getting in brake line

    Maybe get someone to apply the brake while you look for a leak, should leak under pressure and then draw air in when released. Possibly a brake pipe or line or calliper connection.

    Clips / Rivets

    Get searching on ebay, you can usually find what you need if you persevere. I've spent hours looking for stuff like this, often it's all about the wording.

    As said, open the bonnet and smell, if it stinks of diesel fumes the egr pipe is split

    MOT Crap

    I agree, I do it myself if I'm interested in a vehicle. But some of these things seem a tad petty: Offside Rear coil spring corroded (2.4.C.1b) exhaust system slightly corroded + flexi mesh damaged Nearside Rear Brake pipe slightly corroded (3.6.B.2c) Offside Rear Brake pipe slightly corroded...

    MOT Crap

    Not just that though, it can affect the sale price at the end of the day, people see these advisories and it puts them off, lowers the price.

    That could have been on the road and somehow flipped up into your engine bay, does the auxiliary belt look okay

    MOT Crap

    Had my yearly MOT done last week, car passed with no advisory's even though it was the same garage that last year flagged up rust on a rear subframe. Had this before, some garages will pick the smallest faults, it is utterly ridiculous the amount of advisories at the hands of the testers. Like a...

    Suspension bushes

    Had front upper suspension arm flagged at mot couple of years ago, found it easier to replace whole part than change the bushes in it, cheaper too. ***** of a job though, bolts are really hard to access. MOT is January, so did it in the cold. Don't have a garage so wouldn't want to do it this...

    Automatic transmission fluid

    Yes, definitely drive it in between fills, won't do any harm and is the only way the new fluid gets circulated.

    Automatic transmission fluid

    Yep, a fluid change will do it a world of good. I had a Volvo T5 automatic and the gearbox was a known issue if you didn't change the fluid, even though Volvo said the gearbox fluid was for the life of the car. And it was very hard to do a total replacement so did 30% at a time, 3 times. Seemed...

    Automatic transmission fluid

    Did my manual at@160k (bought it with 150k on it ) not too hard of a job and not as much fluid for the manual. You need to source new sealing washers beforehand, I needed 3 different ones if I remember correctly. The old fluid didn't look too bad anyway. Just undid the drain bolt and it all came...

    Tourer rear Brake change

    Similar to this: You have to rotate the disc to where the cog is behind it. Probably not in the same place as the picture on a Honda.
