Dublin Meeting
- Thread starter Brian Raftery
- Start date
Limped to the garage up the road and bought some brake-fluid. Spent about 20mins bleeding the front drums until I got a little bite in the brakes, packed up and headed for the M50, brakes lasted about 5 mins and went again but wasn't in any humour to stop (if I could!!!
) so jumped on the M50 and kept going. Coming off the M50 was fun trying to use the gears and handbrake to slow down...made it home without a scratch. Tomorrow i'll strip the brake system down and find the problem.The funny thing is that since the first day the car was back on the road, the brakes were the one thing that I thought were actually damn good compared to other beetles I've had. There were no signs of any fluid leaks, yet the reservoir was empty...where did it go!

I know its a bit off, but should we think of the route, and more importanly the food.
Last month's was brillant, the spin down to Dalkey was class. I think we should do something
similar next month maybe the same spot. But where do we go for food, and suggestions?
Meet in Stillorgan, convoy, food?
I heard the orchard is good?
Lets remember to think of the bus's too, Liam nearly lost his roof ha.

Clutch now sorted, jesus hope i don't have to go through that again too soon. The hook on the end of the clutch pedal is badly worn though so will have to pick one up as a back up, thanks to brian for all the info,
:skull:
The Goat is a good idea, loads of parking and handy for people to get onto the M50. Are we planning a drive before food or is it Stillorgan and then straight onto The Goat?
Edit: Glad all is sorted now Keith.

Goatstown! 5 minutes from Stillorgan (half way between stillorgan and dundrum) and they do good food.
I've booked a table for 20 in the goat for 8pm. They do food until 9.45 anyway, but at least this way, we'll be guaranteed an area to ourselves.
I'm afraid I won't be able to get to the next few meets, not if they are on Wednesday nights anyway because I am doing a computer course every wednesday night until mid July.
