Right, I’m just about to jump in the Triumph and drive up and should be there just after ten, slightly slipping clutch allowing!

We left at 7.50 to head to the Luton Festival of Transport, we have just had a quick stop at Stonehenge

Ha! Dem Romans must have jogged by that and thought "good flags for a patio.. Need a legion of Pikeys to lug 'em, mind".

So... Mebbie not!

Prelude FTP. Someone was beeping telling my rear drivers side wheel was smoking heavily.

I emptied a 2 litre bottle of coke on it and moved it off the dual carriageway into a service station, not really sure what to do next.

If it's a stuck brake caliper then hit the wheel/brake with something until it releases.
That's what I did with the Cherokee on the collection mission.

I’d love to help Alex but I have my own issues

Fucks sake, no luck today eh?

I think I know what the issue is though - the handbrake causes it to seize up. Normal brakes don't seem too bad so I'll keep twatting and testing before heading off again.

Nope ignore me, it seizes up again using the brake pedal.

I've admitted defeat.

Bug yellow taxi is on its way. I'll ask him to wind back the caliper first to see if that helps at all. The disc is pretty groovy though so that's probably not helping.

Might as well get comfortable.

Herbert saved the day by towing the BX into a layby. Fuel pump issues.

[chatsharris]

And some fellas had it worse than me I suppose.

I'm heading off in a bit towards the m5 if I can be of any assistance?

I'm in Tiverton services by the Travelodge but I think if anything is going to work maybe a wind back of the caliper to see if it frees it up?

This may explain why I've only been getting 22 to the gallon though

It was all them test drives I reckon.

Is caliper on sliders?

More than likely. It happens though, no point losing sleep over it!

AA man is here, likes the Prelude and is doing a strip and clean. Hopefully should do the trick!

Big yellow taxi time for the BX ?
