Took motorhome in last weekend for its mot (2004 Ducato Swift 590rs) (after 2 weeks of on and off fiddling to try to get half the marker lights working)
Got them working after finding one blown fuse in one of the million fuse boxes fitted to it.....
Lights working, I achieved a fail on rear brake imbalance (rear brakes have always squeeked after being parked up)
Stripped rear brakes and found a seized wheel cylinder on passenger side....
Couple of hours buggering about and it's back in tomoz and crossing fingers....
When I get chance I'll be replacing brake fluid (none synthetic brake fluids are hygroscopic and absorb water over time.... Not good news as it causes rusting of the internals of the brake system)
New wheel cylinder/new rear shoes and tub of brake fluid PLUS new oil filter and oil less than £60....
So not too painful.
