XT brakes gave out...


Recommended Posts

What a scare this morning! I get in my XT, pull out of my driveway, approach a stop sign, hit the brakes, and the pedal goes to the floor:eek: :dead:

 

I manage to stop it with what brakes I had left, and return to my driveway. There was a big puddle of brake fluid where the car sat overnight, and my reservoir was half-empty... I wasn't dare going to drive it so I missed college today...

 

But oh how lucky I was that the parts I needed to finish up the Legacy came in today! I borrowed my granpa's truck and ran to Discount to get them, and I then finished up the Legacy. Reason #1 to have two cars! :banana:

Good thinking if they are both going to be Subaru's. I had to order a water control valve for my heater. After 21 years, it is still a dealer only part. They got me one, dusty, dented, one outlet end bent and a hundred and 6 dollars for the privilage. This is not to mention the nearest Subaru dealer is more than 65 miles one way. Now it is 12 degrees outside instead of the 60 when I ordered it. Could I get a little cheese with this whine? I am just glad they could get it and I have 5 others that I can drive if I need to. It is a gold color valve assembly and the smart a** parts guy says do you really think it is gold?
