Thats good news Duncan, hope the brake job goes to plan, is it just new bits ?

Yes, discs pads and shoes. So it ought to be straightforward. I always clean the pad carriers which adds a few minutes, but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary.

I didnt change the handbrake shoes but found that getting the second pad in the caliper at the rear was not straightforward as not enough room , be interested in exchanging notes when you have done yours

Not long now chaps woo hoo!

I'm very sorry that I won't be there. I will try and send you some weather from Spain, it was 29C when I got into the car this morning to go shopping. Shopping for beer and gin mostly it must be said. Too hot to eat much.

We will be thinking of you Bernard whilst we swig our real ale huddled around the camp fire under our umbrella...



Mike

nice to hear from you Bernard, sounds like you are having a nice time !

Drop me a pm when you get back as i have the PF gears

What's the turnout looking likely to be Rob?

Cheers

Mike

Well so much for plans A and B.

Brakes done, though not test driven. I got VERY wet. Handbrake shoes are the pig, had no real problem with the pads, other than being careless taking out the wear sensor and breaking it. Luckily I had a spare.

So, just thinking I'll stop now and test drive it in the morning before loading up. Lock the car and notice the left rear indicator isn't working. Spare bulb in, and still dead. Bottom. So maybe my spare is a duff, but I do need to fix it before I can come tomorrow. I was too cold wet tired and hungry to carry on so I'll do it first thing tomorrow and confirm when I have. It may mean a slightly later arrival, but I do need to get my car working.

Looking forward to catching up, one way or another!

ok Duncan, see you when you get there, what about hand signals ?

I think Duncan may well have just given you a hand signal when he read your post Rob

Well at least the indicator problem was an easy one. Broken contact in the bulb holder. Temporary repair in place so I just need to check the brakes and load up.

Dave, yes something like that!

a big thank you to Arctic and devilish for what they did on my car
