Berlingo battles and DRKpers

[Hell Razor5543]

Mike, I would love it, but I don't have the space or wherewithal for it.

However, if a second set of eyes could help get those brakes working let me know.

For some reason the shoes popped out of position, not once, but twice,

its probably those stupid cone shaped retaining springs not seated properly Mike,

they can try anyone's patience,

what i do is have the eyelet blade thingy vertical and the hook end of the spring, put a blade of a flat bladed screw driver through the open/outer end of the spring, and with the blade horizontal so it can push and tilt the hook end of the spring,

now with the other hand rotate the base at the back/outside of the back plate of the eyelet till the eye goes over the hook,

hope this helps,

I gave up on it Malcolm. I decided I don't understand this weird old technology and it's now sat on the drive and I sometimes stare angrily at it.

Drum brakes are the work of the devil Mike..

Stop looking angrily at it. have a few days off and then walk up to it with purpose and show it just who's boss and the request with some authority that it gets its act together and starts behaving otherwise you'll set CitroJim onto it...

Seriously, if it's still peeing you off in early June, I may be able to offer you a day...

[Hell Razor5543]

And if that doesn't work I have a 1kg lump hammer that you can borrow!

And if all else fails I'll give you the c2, a macdonalds happy meal, a Mars bar, and a citroen sticker for it.

Careful Davie, the happy meal might just swing it for Mike but only if it still has the toy in it...

[Hell Razor5543]

Not to put you off, Davie, but I think your son will then say something like "As you wouldn't get me a quad bike I'll use this instead", especially if you get the race tuned engine fitted!

It will definitely still be peeing me off by then Jim, it's the devil's own vehicle! I have gone as far as getting a gunsons' ezibleed thing to bleed the brakes for the next attempt.

I think some of the pingfuckit springs that Malcolm mentions are *old* and may have shortened. I'm not 100% sure.

[Northern_Mike]

Ha! Your profanity filter didn't get that one :-p

It's actually the only vehicle I've driven for 22 hours without a break, and you know what, not a single ache or pain after that.

And THAT is a very good reason to keep it!

[addo]

That's actually serious food for thought. Very interesting!

[citronut]

i think you need to rip out all that orible Rhino= renault junk and fit dershy bits instead
