Today we had a 15 plate Ford fiesta in for oil change mot and customer wanted all brakes checked , on the check of the rear drivers side we were horrified to see how close this car came to brake failure .
The alloy brake cylinder (wheel cylinder ) had oxidised and the alloy oxidation next to the steel back plate had forced it of its seat and the piston of the cylinder had popped past the fulcrum of were it operates and was just catching upper edge of the brake shoe .
Good catch and now rectified
