martini Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Car had it's MOT today and failed as the rear offside brake is leaking a bit. Also was told I need a replacement offside front sub-frame as the current one is rusted. Been told that rust here is expected and I might well not need a new one. Is there anyone in the York area that would be able to have a look at the car/or help me sort it/diagnose? Also - which garages to people around York use?

michael Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I know a good chap in Sherburn in Elmet but can't help in the immediate area I'm afraid. Should be a relatively normal thing to sort out though, there isn't anything too unusual about Supra brakes compared with those on other cars. Any idea where its leaking from? Bleed nipple area is prone to cracking but could just be a seal that needs replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 The leak was from the banjo where it fits into the calipers, i replaced the washers for him last time he local. Just wonder if they were a tad small as thats all i had left at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the reply Michael. Elmet's only around 20 miles away so it's certainly doable. m_life serviced my car and made a quick attempt at nipping this in the bud before I left (didn't have much time and it was just him helping out on something he'd noticed). I'd happily have the brakes fixed and it retested elsewhere, even if it was a bit of a drive. I'm still not to sure if it's been failed appropriately on the subframe though as I know little about this kind of thing unfortunately.
