Re: Oiling the Underside

For what it is worth my 1969 Traveller's underside has been covered in old engine oil since new (re-applied as necessary). It is as good as the day it was made. Never needed any welding repairs. A bit messy when working under the car but well worth the effort

Re: Trouble bleeding brakes

May sound silly question but have you adjusted the brakes fully then turned back one click only, assuming they are drums all round. It could be the servo. You can quite easily make up temporary pipework to bypass the servo, if this gives you a hard pedal then the servo is at fault. I would agree wit...
