Re the oil gauge maxing out just swap the wires the other way around and that will sort the problem in a flash. Bet it put a smile on your face once you heard the beast fire up mate. You will soon have the same smile on your face as you did last weekend when I gave you a blast out in mine BUT it wil...

Hi Tom Thanks for this info and to everyone who has responded. The pads are now fully bed in as I have said earlier but in my opinion are still shocking. I have literally just come in from the garage and have noticed that my wheels are almost black with dust. I drove home from Dunsfold to Plymouth a...

Hi Chris
POR 15 is fantastic stuff and can be applied even in damp conditions.
A mate and I did his Mini ( thee complete underside ) and it works a treat.
Not that cheap but works very well.

I do leave plenty of space between myself and the next car as much as possible so as to not have to emergency brake although that has to be done sometimes obviously. I have us...

To get the old spigot bush out, pack the hole with grease, then drive in a piece of bar that is a good fit into the hole. The hydraulic pressure will push it out. I have always found that a really good heavy thump with a lump hammer to drive the bar into the void behind the bush helps a treat but be...

I am going to look at the Carbon Lorraine pads as after this weekend at Wings and Wheels I am still not impressed with the Yellow Stuff pads. They have been fully bed in now and still dont feel that good in fact if anything they feel a bit vague coming down from high speed. As already mentioned I do...

It has been said I am an arse sometimes ha ha.

Having given the system a full and furious workout this past weekend it really does work very well so am pretty chuffed with it.

Thanks to Coops for the promotion and to GED for suggesting it as well.
