After you all had left it was back to the Shed and overalls on. Alejandro told me he had brake problems during the cruise so thought we should have a look before he left Torksey.
On jacking up the car and removing the n/s/r wheel we found this.

This pipe had previously been "fitted" by a Jaguar "Specialist" but it was obviously way too long and didnt fit the way it should like the original one did. It had chaffed on the body as the suspension moved. Look at this pipe and marvel at the effort which went into making and fitting this one.

Anyway we made one and bled his brakes and sent him safely on his way home. Then I went and collected some of today's signs as Shirl and Gary went the opposite way to get the rest.
It's been a long day . . . . . . .

Well done Tony... I hope Alejandro is taking it back to the fitter to show him and get his money back.
