I'm still waiting the arrival of my 'new' compensator, usually a week from U.K. to Portugal.
The car has been 'prepped' ready, using ALL of the photo-guides and instructions, not the easiest job I've ever done, I found the repositioning of the rear carpet more than a chore, it just wouldn't roll and it took me about 45 minutes to get to the forward torque bolts. The stretch on the compensator was about 13mm., so the 'mod' was necessary. I will return the faulty compensator as soon as the new one is fitted, hopefully - within the next few days. |

My excuse for taking so long on the carpet re-position is as follows - less than a sylph like 74 year old, I'm afraid... no longer as spry as I once was, or perhaps thought I was

Sorry that I've not sent the 'old' compensator yet, BUT due to the vagaries of the Portuguese Postal Service (we have had two postal strikes this month about Proposed Privatisation) no mail has arrived this week, , hopefully tomorrow, the 10th June, I will be able to complete the job!!!

Since I've had my 75, I've noticed that the handbrake needs to be on the very last click before the handbrake kicks in, and then the wheels are pretty much locked, however it takes a second or two from the time you lift the handbrake, to the time the brakes lock on.... I haven't tried adjusting the handbrake, but I'm pretty sure this mod needs to be done, even if it's just for my own piece of mind...
but is the delay on the brakes being applied a normal symptom of this fault? and are these modified compensators still available? Cheers. |
