Wouldnt dream of doing it anway fellas, price of pads and discs aint that much compared to stopping the car in time and saving your life/the car! Just thought it'd be of interest as I found it quite bizarre! Only in the good old US of A ehh!! Nick :cool:

Or if Andy doesnt have an aerial, try Mike Feeney at MJP. Nick :cool:

I removed the front bumper last night and behind it is a large black plastic grille (62256 40P00) which should be bolted onto the car with some rather hefty bolts (judging by the diameter of the holes), except mine isnt!! Anyone know what diameter, length or even part no they are? Cant find owt in the service manwell, so any help appreciated. Nick :cool:

SKIM THOSE DISKS Thursday 30th January While they're still on the car... A new brake tool that uses a car's own power to skim its front disks has been launched by American Company Brake Tru Inc. The catchily named "BrakeTru® On-The-Car RotorResurfacer®" pads are new single use tools that allow you to skim the disks in around 30 minutes without removing them from the car. Ceramic abrasive pads are stuck onto the worn pads and slapped back into the brake callipers. The car is then put in gear and drive applied to give around 3000rpm. Resurfacing occurs when the brake pedal is applied for two cycles of two-seconds each. The worn brake pads with the RotorResurfacers are then removed and discarded. New brake pads are installed to complete the job. Brake Tru are very proud of the kit designed for front wheel drive cars. "Now, in less than 30-minutes the DIY can do a front brake job that is superior to that done in professional repair shops using old fashioned brake lathes," explained Pat Grinde, Brake Tru President. That just leaves the rear disks... Link: http://www.braketru.com

Pete, Is your little guidebook Green? Nick :cool:

Nice on Aaron. Will check the pipes fitted and sort it out when I re assemble next week. Nick :cool:

Oh buuger! Where is it fed from in the coolant system?

Cheerz Eric I take it that it'll work much better if the metal strip aint as rusty as it currently is!!! Much cleaning required!

Inside the front bumper grille is a wire that runs to a little black block. This in turn sits on a rusty/chrome stirp which is bolted to hte underside of the black plastic grille. Is this the ubiquitous exterior temperature sensor???? Nick :cool:

Finally got the front bumper off last night and noticed there appear to be 2 washer bottles, one on drivers side & one on pass side. The drivers side is full and works, apparently for the windscreen but what does the bottle on the passenger side do as this one is empty and dry as a bone??? Nick :cool:

That'll not be this one then Tony!! razo knob :D :D :D HTH Nick :cool:

20 horses for a performance cat back exhaust!!!!! OOOpppppsss, best tell the insurance compnay next time I speak to them then!!!!:D :D :D Nick :cool:

My pherkin puter is useless! Can never get these links to ebay stuff to work, only ever get the ADx in the corner. Wheres the IT manager gone. I need upgrading!! Anyone else having difficulty accessing or is it just my sh1te box??? Nick :cool:

I am a Bridgestone man through and through, I even run Potenzas on my everday motor, but the S03 just aint as good as the S02 (according to my tyre man and he is well knowledgable). And they S02 is now obsolete. I'm with the Duffman on this one. Toyo Proxes are the way to go. Nick :cool:

Isnt Johnny at Grasshopper sorting a group buy on the Racelogic TC at the mo??? Vaguely remember something about it somewhere in the murk that is my whisky fumed brain! Nick :cool:

Cheerz Martin
