It was a nice day and I just got the Alfa back from the garage after brakes repair before getting its mot. New rear calliper on one side and refurbished one on the other. Me and the dogs picked up the car.
Took this car for a lunch appointment 30 miles away but on the way could feel the brakes binding again. By the time I got to destination rear wheels were smoking and no brake pedal due to boiled off fluid (I guess). Had to nurse the car home with virtually no brakes - well a bit if I pumped hard. Still on the plus side it sailed through its MOT
