Skandix do repair kits for them that aren't exorbitant:- https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/brakes/brake-regulator-system/repair-kit-brake-power-regulator/1029933/ wuvvum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artdjones Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 They are supposed to be suitable for up to 72. The regulators are not in stock and are rather exorbitant at €264 for a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 2 hours ago, Dan29 said: I've used council testing stations (Cardiff when I lived there, now Hounslow) for years as they have no reason not to be trustworthy, as they don't do repairs on private cars. I've had friends use council ones but the problem they found was two fold. They were used to immaculate maintained council vehicles and they could be right jobsworths. Other issue is that if it needs any minor work, I'll get the garage to do it. E.g. split boots, bushes and the like. I'm budgeting £100 for getting it through the MOT and I'd rather not be doing that myself. Hassle then of getting it back especially with a Council test centre.

Split_Pin Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Slight return of my old Corsa B to the driveway tonight, but just for a short while. #bluetones Helping the owner with a foutery job on it that I had experience of from when I owned the car. Great to see that it's still in excellent condition. I think the smaller wheels look better than the white ones I had on it.

I had one at 40 too. Lucky you. I’ve heard nothing for fifty years. Last went to the GP about a hernia five years ago ( first time since I was a child) , was referred to hospital and done. That’s it.

egg Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I've mentioned this before, but my grandad had UK market 306 Sedan for many years, when he died in 2017, my uncle took it back to France and registered it on French plates. Amazingly I was scrolling through my Instagram feed, and it had been spotted by 'cornishcarspotter' (this is completely at random, I don't follow the account) while on a trip over here. Small world!
