As per the "what did you do" thread I had to source a pair of replacement front calipers today, as mine have seized on the lower inner piston on both sides.
After searching the 'net, I found a couple suppliers had them in stock. First being Torquen - albeit at over £600 for a pair for either cast iron or aluminium.. Then I found some fully rebuilt aluminium ones (the correct fitting for a TT) at less than half that, which got me thinking. Cast iron vs aluminium....??
Both seem to have their merits and drawbacks - the ali ones being much lighter, so less unsprung weight - whereas the iron ones allegedly handle the heat better, reducing the chance of disc warpage. If one believes everything one reads on the interweb LOL!
Seeing as I don't track the Zed - and I am happy with the OEM set-up, when it works properly, plus I have a set of Brembo discs waiting to go on, as opposed to the Ebay ones I had previously, I thought the ali calipers would suffice.
Opinions please - good or bad😁

My Speedo is displaying MPH but seems to be reading KMH. Could this be down to some sort of sender relay
The fuel cap is not opening from the lever......Now sorted
And the boot release is working but the lever has to be held up at the same time as lifting the boot
And lastly I need the following repaired. Anyone know if it's much of a job.
And the cigarette lighter is not working (Bummer for the sat nav) Scratch that one now fixed
Cheers
