Hi big E,
Did I say I could see a leaking cylinder? I never said i could see an internal leak, I think I said you can’t fail a leak you cannot see, i.e. a brake cylinder is enclosed inside a drum out of sight, but I did say I failed the rear back plate for being contaminated with brake fluid (3.5.1g), which is only visual contamination, it does not mean that there is a leak?
I also mentioned the load sensing valve was leaking brake fluid, this I can see and I did say that there was no specific regulation to a valve for leaking, so regulation (3.6A.1) would be used, but a tester would have to ensure on the VT30 exactly what had been failed.
I did also make mention to some items failed which I said maybe VOSA would disagree
Thanks
David:D
