It seems that I was WRONG about Cecil=E2=80=99s car. I swear that =
it=E2=80=99s a 100/6 and that they had drums in the front. However, it =
has discs!!

As to more info.....that=E2=80=99s not easy. He=E2=80=99s struggling up =
to Copenhagen in the car. He=E2=80=99s not on the list (despite my =
efforts to make him join), I=E2=80=99m in Devon UK and you=E2=80=99re =
all over the world. Hey Ho....

 I think we need some more information. Is it a spongy pedal? Do they =
work at all? Do they work but only after pumping a little? etc.

Maybe look at every inch of the system and hope to find a joint with a =
loose connection....tighten it up and bleed the system.

Now, the car is a 100/6 with drums all round. Cecil inferred in an email =
yesterday that he=E2=80=99d more or less had to keep his speeds up on =
the autobahns. Maybe he=E2=80=99s worn the brakes a bit? I know NOTHING =
about the drums on the front of a 100/6 except I=E2=80=99d imagine =
they=E2=80=99re not dissimilar to my Mk II=E2=80=99s rear drums. How =
well do they self adjust? Could it be that he just needs to adjust up =
his brakes all round??

I=E2=80=99ve cc=E2=80=99d Cecil, above so gurus can approach home =

I=E2=80=99m sure he=E2=80=99d be very grateful for any suggestions.

Cecil has contacted me, he has some problems, he writes:

=E2=80=9CI'm in Hamburg at present and should be in Copenhagen later =
today.=20

I'm having trouble with my brakes. Not loosing any fluid but air is =

If you on the list have any ideas please share them and I will try to =

Another try..............

A good friend of mine is driving up to the CHGP. He=E2=80=99s driving up =
in his 100/6 through France, Holland, Germany etcetc. I was hoping to =
garner some contacts, addresses etc for him prior to his departure. (So =
far, not having much luck). He will, quite sensibly be taking a pile of =
spares and tools, but one can be fairly certain that one will not have =
the one thing that one needs. Hence the hope for a few =
numbers/addresses.

Anything out there????

(When my car gave up in France, it was the battery. I was in a small =
town so finding a battery shop was not hard. The trick was in noticing =
that the poles were reversed so that I=E2=80=99d have been back to front =
had my navigator not noticed!! Is it them or is it us? I wondered.)
