If it was like one of mine it was the original drum 20 years old at 128,000 miles also the cylinder was leaking. All new now.Today i tried to to change over the rear drums on my a2. After 5 hours i claimed defeat. I did not managed to change a complete wheel. So put it back best i could and drove 100 miles home and take it to a garage first thing. #notamechanic

Did you release the brake shoe adjusters? Could be a reason why the drums refused to move.Today i tried to to change over the rear drums on my a2. After 5 hours i claimed defeat.

Yep that’s the one identified in the spotted thread - that’s 4 oil changes at £11 each plus the filter (with plenty left each time for topping up)!I see this suitable oil is on offer with a voucher code.
£44 for 20 litres makes for some very cheap maintenance.

KFK, new one to me, good stuff!… picked up A2LLU from WOM in Staffordshire after a good amount of TLC.
My 6-speed A2 Cars gearbox had started to fall apart a while back and was now down to 4 gears and pretty noisy as well. I’d had an oil pump chain refurb kit in the house for at least a couple of years and the car was ready for a cam belt. I’d felt for a while like I was driving a time bomb!
All sorted now. Gearbox replaced with 45k miler KFK gearbox (5 speed, same family as JDD) and new clutch, oil pump chain and guides replaced, cambelt and service.
Thanks to Rob and Marcus, the old girl is back to her old self!. Can’t thank them enough for their work and sensible guidance.
Hailstone damage?
And then some!Hailstone damage?
I have seen similar damage ti caravans, (aluminium like the A2), in mainland Europe. Some manufacturers now offer fibreglass roofs, as an option. Caravan used as long term homes, are often fitted with small mesh netting, about 100mm above the actual roof, to deflect hail.And then some!
