As it's MOT time again I was under the R on the weekend and I noticed that the handbrake cable looked a little odd. It seems like there is far more tension on one side than the other. - Is that usualy caused by the cable snapping inside the sleeve between the T-piece and the caliper? If so where's the best place to get one and is it easy to swap (looks pretty easy, but these things can be deceptive).
I was also degreasing the front of the car and I noticed that the oil smelled more like gearbox oil than engine oil. If it is gearbox oil, where does it usually come from (and what's the best way to sort it)? - It's a bit hard to tell when you notice it on the bottom of the transfer case because it could have come from anywhere. Maybe the driveshaft seals? It's not chucking it out of the breather.
I'm sure there was something else, but I've forgoten what it was now.
I think this year I might need to SORN the car before the tax can be paid... :doh:
