Toyota Mechanic in Sibiu Romania
Hi
Can anyone recommend a Toyota/4x4 mechanic in Sibiu Romania as need to get my brakes and disk checked out as caliper stuck on when I was coming down the Transalpina route and think my disk/pads knackered on my Toyota Landcruiser 100 series.
Many Thanks
Julio

I don't know of a place but I'm about 15 Km west of Sibiu right now. Is there anything I can pick up for you on my motorbike or is the Toyota still "driveable"?
Will be here for another couple of hours or so at least.

Back on the Road
Hi guys
Apologies for delay in getting back, only just picked up my emails. Thanks for the responses, luckily I was able to get in touch with Mihai from the Sibiu 4x4 club who kindly let me use their workshop to check over all the brakes etc to find out what was going on. Or should I say he checked them all out and did the work.
Good news was that there was no major damage and we bled all the brakes and found air in the front offside. Give it a test drive yesterday over the tranfagarasan pass and was all ok
The hospitality we have been shown in Romania is amazing, what a stunning place to travel.
Thanks
Julio
