Brake Fluid is cloudy, a sign of water ingress, change is recommended.

Brake Pipe Unions and Brake Hose Ferrules are corroded, especially the Rears, O/S is borderline to failure.

Engine Auxiliary Belt is worn.

Exhaust Pipe Flanges (Front) are heavily corroded.

Front Inner Brake Pads are approaching low, and Brake Discs have a developed wear lip, especially on the Inner Face. Replacement is recommended in approx. 2,000 miles.
