Finally got around to replacing the rear springs on the S3 Truckcab,  bought from Paddy a while back. Thanks to Keith Fisher for lending the vital second pair of hands, made life a lot easier.

again worked on brakes on the s3 and replaced master brake cylinder and re-bleed brakes and finally got brakes but i think root of my problem may be flexi hose on one or all need replaced as brake pedal went soft after 4hrs left unused and only went solid after second pump?? oh well will check again using clamps and see if i can locate the problem in the morning, only got about 2 weeks to gets this done before weekend trip or will be arriving as a spectacor in motorhome with camera grrr
anyway early morning start on it fingers crossed will get it fixed.

took the old S3 to show old owner how it looks now and he was very delighted and went to travel home, then disaster struck  agh thought I was bad at gear change as crunch went the overdrive crunch went the gear change and then no clutch at all just a soft pedal  agh
got parked up safe at road side by using the revs to slip into gear and out to park up safe, up with bonnet bean can dry as a bone, had by chance some brake/clutch fluid in back filled up and under I went to try bleed it, quick call to mate along road to come help and still wouldn’t bleed grrr, anyways had just been upgraded to silver by AA for free so thought why not that’s why I pay it, 2hrs wait and nice bloke turns up to assist, a bit of grunt and moan and him covered in oil lol got some clutch which was enough just to get home and signed chitty at end, so ordered up new bits from slave to master clutch and pipe work all ordered up for less than £50 to get her on road again ,

Morale of story, no trip out, is never without it exiting parts lmao.

Attacked rust with hammer, whoops. Phone call later, welder booked for sometime before MudMaster ;)

Decided that the split fuel pipe may have had a hand in the starting issues. PO had wrapped it in insulating tape....

The real worry is that this bodge artist is a Doctor....

I had the same problem with mine and it was a flexi hose.  Only problem after that was after replacing the flexis, the bleed nipples sheared off so new wheel cylinders and then new copper pipes and first time on the road after that the master cylinder failed, then when that was fixed a rear hub seal failed so dumped all the oil on the shoes so when they were changed the adjusters wouldn't work but I think its all fixed now. (Fingers firmly crossed).
