Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Were the old flexi brake lines leaking?

    It might only be shoes settling in again, have you driven the car much since you did the hose overall?

    If the noise wont go away maybe open up the drums to assess the state of the shoes and make sure everything is in order.
