What have you done today with your Austin Seven
The Polo, having developed a wheel bearing noise on the way back from Monmouth earlier this week and, in any event, is due a (3)50,000 mile service, the Seven (newly serviced last weekend) has been pressed into duty as my daily for a couple of days whilst the VW receives a bit of TLC.

So, the Motoring Dog and I went to Rhuthin, some 20 miles distant, this afternoon to do some shopping, dodging rain showers as we went.

Leaving Rhuthin, the front brakes started to make horrid noises reminiscent of the sort of noise railway truck brakes make when being shunted - a sort of graunching screech,when lightly applied. I remember the noise well, as, when I was a nipper, I would stay at an aunt's house in Aberdovey, the house backing onto Dovey Junction.

When the brakes were inspected last weekend, all was well, and the only thing that I have done that might possibly have annoyed them was to blow out the dust and give everything a wipe down using brake and clutch cleaner.

Getting home, and after unpacking the purchases, I stripped the front brakes and found everything in order, so I have deglazed the shoes and drum in the hope that this will cure the problem. We shall see tomorrow!

The rain stopped just sufficiently for a couple of pictures taken in the town:-
