Morning Im just about to start repairing the rear bumper Is it much of a job,to remove the "black section" round the exhaust pipes .I can make neater job of respraying if this section is out,rather than mask it all up Len

I worked at British Leyland for 12 years and it was amazing some of the design flaws,usually to save a few pence Len

Just popped out to the garage and done it .I can now spray the rear end without having to mask the lights up Also can do a neater spray job Thanks again Len

Sorry about the spelling ,didnt check it before I posted it .Must get a keyboard that can spell Len

Hello how do you remove the plug from the rear light cluster .It seems as though there mwy me a lever to release it,but I dont want to force anyyhing I waqnt the lights out to respray the rear svar masking the clusters up Len

Filled the master cyl up which was quite empty and bled the brakes .They are now fine after my silly mistake mixing clutch up with brake Now Ive raised the rear of the car up ,to start working out best way of repairing rear bumper .Previous owner had obviously reversed into post or something .When the rear of the car is sorted and sprayed I can move onto the near side where someone has damaged the rear wheel arch .It all keeps me busy and counts as physio!!! Len

I had most of the front covered with a blanket id left there .So just assumed the clutch filler was the brake ,without looking .But its a mistake I wont make again Len

Sorry made a real prat of myself looking at the wrong master cylinder Good job there is a forum to correct stupid mistakes Len

Continuing now the visitor has gone ,back to the car .Ive removed the clingfilm seal and now even when I depress the brake pedal nothing comes out of the brake pipe .It seems to point to the master cylinder but it looks new . Any suggestions besides pulling the bloody trigger !!!! Len
