MOT Failure
BooooHoooooo ...
Not the Scooby (thats next week!) or the MX5 (that passed this morning) - but the wifes Micra!
Low or no effort on the O/S Rear Brake ... and uneven brake force (probably related?) and, get this, one of the numberplate bulbs blown!
Leaky Brake Cylinder?
Post your guesses here

Well, took it all apart and yes, brake cylinder leakking all over the shoes!
I don't drive the car - just service it - and the shoes are only 3 years old, so didn't pay them no mind! And Ting Tong wouldn't know if the gearbox was on the road, just as long as it got her where she wanted to go!!
Anyway, it's all fixed - new cylinder - new shoes - bled all through - numberplate bulb replaced
MOT again tomorrow at 1pm - should sail it this time
No, I don't pay for any MOT that any of my cars fail .... then when they pass, I get 33% off the full fee - so, it's a great deal all round

lets hope its computerised shall we,
then your previous !!!!!!!!!!!!failure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will have been recorded
mine went through with EASE!!!!!!!
bit blinkered to think that things will last for three years and not pay them any attention.
then again what do you expect...

You really should be checking rear slave cylinders once a year.
A weak point on both the previous Micras we've had, they often start weeping at 2 years old.
It remains to be seen if the current one will follow tradition.
