I thought it was only me who had luck like that!
Good luck for the next attempt.

I'd just thought I'd let everyone know, I'm a complete F**king idiot!!!!! I was getting really annoyed with the fact that none of the brake master cylinders I had worked.................. until I finally worked out that they work on a vacuum system!!??!!??!! I now have a working front brake. What a Knob!!!!!!!!!

Mr Toad, I now won't be requiring the cylinder you so kindly offered!! You must feel by now that I'm avoiding you!!

MoT booked for tomorrow.....again!

Fingers crossed Clive.

Vacuum system???

[Clive]

Maybe not the right words, but didn't realise it had to have a pressure differential across the valve to be able to draw fluid through, thought it was supposed to pump it through!!!

Anyway, MoT passed ..............................but not without one more kick in the b**locks from the bike!! It decided to blow the main fuse two miles from my house on the way to the MoT! So I had to push it back, sort out the fuse (although I carry a spare, I didn't have the tools to remove the seat!?!?!?!), and then ride up there again!!

At least it passed! That's good news mate. Well done.
