	Hi there, I KNOW this should probably be in the wanted section so I apologise prefusely, but I'm desperate! HOWEVER, I took my car to someones house today to get a hand replacing a brake slave cylinder, turns out as we were bleeding the system the master cylinder went, so the long and short of it is that my car is stuck on someones drive in Kent, and I had to get my dad out to take me home to Essex Is there anyone out there who in exchange for some beer tokens could lend me the use of them and trailer, or maybe even the just the trailer and I'll get my Dad to drive, at some point tomorrow? The guy wants the car gone as soon as possible and if I cant get a trailer I'll be having to pay for a recovery truck. Unfortunately it can't be towed as it has no brakes! I hope you can help, have had a rather depressing/gutting day! Cheers Frank

	If you're desperate GT towing in Hatfield (not a million miles from essex) will have a trailer you can rent for about 40-50quid for the day. Sorry can't be any more help.

	:)I don't have a trailer, but if it helps I can help you fix the car so you can drive it home. What car is it, and where in Essex are you?

	It's a Hillman Imp Thanks very much for the offer, I would love to take you up on that some time soon! I don't have a master cylinder yet however, just depends on when I can get one! I'm in Brentwood, very close to junction 28 of the M25 (where it meets the A12) but as I say, at the moment the car is stuck in Kent! Oh and Mr_B you have a pm

	skamanfrank you have to take the fuel tank out to do the master cylinder (make sure its bone dry ) its a bit fiddly puting it back watch the fuel pipe is not corroded were it exits the rear they usually split there other than that it takes roughly 2 hours tops andy
