Following a trip to "Western Truck rentals" in Barnstaple at an ungodly hour of the morning I now have a full set of excellent working brakes. I cannot praise them highly enough having come out to bleed the brakes for me last week they found the master cly had seized in one part. Despite coming out 10 miles to me the office manage had told the mechanic no fix no charge. The mechanic told me I needed a new master Cyl. I ordered it from Exeter and it was delivered Saturday but health prevented me from fitting. Western Truck Rentals booked it in for 8am this morning. three quarters of an hour later the new one was fitted, brakes bled and adjusted. £68.31 inc 2 litre brake fluid and VAT. First class service at a reasonable price. Many thanks. If you need repairs to a large vehicle I recommend them unreservedly.:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Excellent, I had been wondering when we'd get the 'final' instalment of the brake story:thumb:

That's a good result and not a bad price as nothing is cheap nowadays, with good service as well.
Can't be bad.

0 - but I live in hope
Or even take a brake.

Seems a very fair price for what they did.
