Re: A nasty shock
Must say they don’t look like new cylinders. However if you’ve got a replacement coming, all should be ok.

Re: A nasty shock
Like Les, I find it very difficult to believe that the rear cylinder you've pictured is just a month old.

Re: A nasty shock
Probably not a casting fault, the cylinders are a tight fit so may have been broken when installed.

Re: A nasty shock
New cylinder arrived today, got it fitted, adjusted the brakes and sorted out the handbrake, tomorrow I'll see whether it'll hold the car on a steep hill. I'm a bit more optimistic this time! Went for a short test ride and everything felt normal, I fitted a new exhaust trim and rear door seals yesterday and that seems to have got rid of the fumey smell, hooray!

Re: A nasty shock
I haven't been able to do anything yet- but now that it has working brakes and the suspension is attached to the car, I'll measure up and drill a couple of new holes on the bracket so that I can mount it the right way round.
