brake master cylinder?

A few of us have had that letter. I had mine signed off when they had the car in for a service. Just another bit of paperwork to keep with the car.   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

get them to find out why you're CEL lights on, whilst you're there, as payment for the problem with the brakes  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

good thinking, as they charge for the laptop readings dont they???? so if they do one anyway for the routine check, surely they wont also charge for the light problem??

Two different toyota garages wanted half hour (  s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  ) to investigate my C.E.L at a cost of £40, would get that back if it turned out to be a warrenty claim though..Ended up buying one of those cheap OBD11 readers, sorted in 3 mins...  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

Good luck with asking them..  s:!: :!: s:!:
