Going to start this thread for members to post up what they did each day to there zed. I will start with getting my MOT this morning. So what did you do today on your 300?:cool3:

Friday night I fitted a new battery.

 

Monday I took it out the garage and washed it.

 

Today Took it out on the road for the first time in 2 and 1/2 years. In for an MOT and it passed with some advisories for slight corrosion on brake pipes and a slight play in a suspension joint. Other than checking the lights beforehand I didn't do any prep work.

 

Now it's all taxed and legal again!

 

Thats great news mate. Happy Zedding :thumbup:

Wooohooo! These turned up today! I now have ALL my brake upgrade components!! :D Can't wait to see how the Brembo Sport pads are, they're supposed to give a very positive 'bite'. :)

 

You can't even begin to imagine how surprised I am to find that drilled and grooved brake discs are going to find a home on your Zed, Si...!!

 

Whatever next..... :kiss: :tt2:

Well...I know. I thought about plain discs (which aren't that easy to find - genuine Brembo ones are twice the price), in fact even PolioJ advised on plain discs......but...I dunno. my wheels are quite detailed leaving not too much exposed, so it won't be as easily identifiable as something with 5 spokes! He has the same and you can't really notice it.

Only playing. When I come to replace my front discs, my only real viable option is going to be grooved again... as you say, your wheels will hide the lion's share of the disc anyway :)

Are those disks grooved to the edge?

Yes.

Mine are just grooved, they're DBA 4000 wiperslot discs with "kangaroo paw cooling technology"! Mine are a later revision disc, the early ones suffered from cracking due to the slot going all the way to the edge, creating a stress point.

Let's not worry Simon though Andrew, we should make it home just fine [emoji6]

 

LOL, they'll be fine! Less chance of being noisy anyway!

I have drilled and slotted fronts, which will be matched at the rears. Just got stock pads ATM. I'm sure il find a typically impractical stressful solution.

Well she passed her MOT...happy days:)
