Mondeo Mot Fail

[Guest peter2b2002]

just failed it's mot, (3rd time) 1st test, rear spring cracked, rusty brake pipes above fuel tank and blown number plate light. replaced rear spring new bulb and fitted new copper brake pipe to replace rusty bits, retest, leak from joint where I had joined the copper pipe to the ford steel pipe went home re made the joints bled brakes test joint with engine running all ok, till next morning joint leaking again, found small crack in the steel pipe where i had swaged it re done , no leaks , went back for another retest checking on route that there even braking seemed ok,

FAIL again , this time rear braking uneven , seems there is a valve in line on each side that limits the brakes at the back , spoke to a ford dealer , o yes common problem £ 64 each side :diablo: at this rate i can see it turning into a doner

Have to be a large vertical spit, methinks!
