Bloody hell,you been in the sea!!

I genuinely don’t know. It feels like it, crumbly to touch…. Whole thing is one big rot box. Really want to change the body but the chassis I’ve had to repair in places too so there’s no point. Lol

I will be tackling more welding on mine soon. Offside front sill mount has disappeared, which was 3mm zintec 7 years ago…. 

Mine did similar, brand new rear crossmember (that was fitted and rust treated brand newby a classic car specialist) went from brand new to complete collapse and pulling lumps of it out by hand in less than 5!

I had the same trouble with my D1 brakes. Ended up bleeding them again really thoroughly with a helper slamming the pedal down, which seems to have sorted the problem. I'm guessing there's an air trap somewhere in the front circuit.

I tried that with the Eazibleed(more out of frustration than anything) but it made no difference.But it was better than the pressure bleeder which wasn't clearing the air out properly.I'll have another try if swapping vac pump and servo doesn't sort it.Thankfully I don't have the triple bleed nipple set up being a later model.
