  1. ....... anyone interested in this 🤔 https://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/223727/mk2-mondeo-salvage-yard-find?page=3
  2. I'd buy an IMP with the 'BMW Bike engine' mod... And, likely, 4 cans of Stella with the change... 🚙💨
  3. Well..... At £3.08 delivered ... 🚀
  4. Caliper £34.99 del + £6.99 DOT4 0.5L ...... Ah, these creaky old crocks 🚙💨
  5. All sweet, after a week.... Nice firm pedal 😎 🚙💨
  6. A young laydee at my work passed in a Metro... I had occasion to journey with her in her own car [Metro 🙄] a week or two after she passed. Sitting at the lights, handbrake on, 'biting point' held >> I gave her a swift chat, on the realities of driving, advising about grabbing 1st when the lights change and NOT always doing roundabouts in 2nd. 🚙💨
  7. @HillmanImp.. "The journey down from South Shields to mine could well have been the longest journey it's been on for decades". You haven't 'done' S Sh until getting a bag of chips @Frankies Caff, *Gypsies Green. *Links, end of GNR Proper Chodding 👍 🚙💨
  8. Caliper all done 🥂 My extremely 'tight fit' deep sockets came to the rescue with the Banjo Bolt... Quite some shoulder required but NO slip off! ♥️ Vac hose to do bleeding ... Inventive means to top-up fluid 🙄 .... Siezed Solid 🤬 🚙💨
  9. Jeezze.... Didn't know DOT 4 was 😮 that expensive @£6.99 500ml. Makes my caliper [£35 del] look a good deal 🙀.. 🚙💨
  10. I was casually watching one of those 'rail rider', out in the boonies/High Sierra's US, Utoobs.... For all it wasn't a 3D enhanced/*Huge Jackman showcase movie 🙄 >>> ..... as the GoPro - on a pole - headed out over the wooden trestle bridge.... I felt proper sick 🤢. 🚙💨
  11. Not getting much joy with the garage (shut/hols). Think I'll D.I.Y. with a 'slit-in-rubber hose' brake bleeder (I have some silicone vac pipe lying around, just the job!). Shouldn't take more than a *half hour..... 🙄 *possible rain/back lane 😕 Ah well... 🛠️👍
  12. All sorted.... Nothing seized, all rubber nice and flexi/slapped on rubber grease.... Brake fluid emerging from severed pipe/bleed drilling, so piston is free when I press it 👍. Bleed nipple out/back in.... Will drop it off @oily spanner and see if he has a slot free 🛠️. 🚙💨 .... looks like it has been in the sea...
  13. Oof! 😯 Postie looked relieved when he handed me this.... 🤣🤣 🚙💨
  14. @nev_jr.... IIRC the 'street parking' issue, on residential estates etc, runs to 'if a dropped kerb/driveway' then Don't Be A Knob.... But if you yark yours over the path then it can reasonably be regarded a 'garden ornament'. Local council won't be impressed with broken paving slabs either... Neighbours, you might assume, can be relied upon to show discretion 😯.
  15. ^ ^ ^ .... Well, yes, likely he'll have TWO pair + a spare 🤣🤣 🚙💨
  16. Spunked £1.50 @HomeBargains for a set.... My 'boat anchor' caliper is now dispatched >> will require a 'buff up' before whacking on 🛠️😉
  17. 😮... Japanese have tried fireworks, did not end well 🚀🔥
  18. Has anyone done a 'banjo/copper washer' caliper Flexi swap = are the copper sealing washers good to retighten/flip over 🤔 🚙💨
  19. Gahh 🤬... StinkWheel [AgAiN] *clue = heavy braking/avoiding bellend >>> 10 miles later toasty stink >>> stop & smack the caliper (open spokes FTW 😉) with steel bar ... Sorted ♥️ We have a 'sticky piston'..... Bought this boat anchor @fleebay and will swap 🛠️☕ #fuckkin cars# 🚙💨
