New brakes finally fitted. Much better and feels a lot more solid.

I thought you were putting new calipers on too?

[Eddie Honda]

He is...with old carriers with new sliders

Callipers were okay. It was a fucked slider on the driver's side along with a warped disc.

The old one's were new when we bought the fucker. They must have been fitted by a meathead.

The clio estate I just bought had new discs on it but had been sitting for a few months before I bought it. The fucker failed the mot on the judder so another pair of discs went on.

They old ones I took off had no where at all. There must have been some crap on the drivers hub that was't cleaned off when they were fitted. They'd reused the old sliders and shims too. The whole car shook like a shitting dog under the slightest pressure.

Finally changed the door lock on the mx5 today after a year of getting in and out the passenger door to unlock it. It had a second hand door fitted before I had it resprayed. I wonder if you can buy door membranes, this one is shagged. No wonder the door card was damp.

Just use the plastic sheet that is used under laminate flooring. In fact if you tell me how much you need I’ll post you some when I get back as I’ll have loads of wastage from the next room.


Less annoying tag line.

[paulplom]

Good idea. In fact I have a big roll of it in the garage. It's a bit thicker than what's on. Shouldn't make a difference though.
