I spoilt her, an Andrex 12pk!!

Had a crap day!!

I hate brakes, fought me all the way. Goodridge hoses that didn't fit, had to make up new copper lines and still not bled!!

Its mostly done now, just need to bleed them and its done.

I was hoping to have him done today, that didn't happen!!


12pack,.....well happy I guess?

why not bleed brakes overnight, let gravety do the job......Still, you got a few weeks before malvern is on.

That's a good idea, but it doesn't take that long, I done it on my cortina last week, when I changed a calliper, only took about 20 minutes


Edit: I need to top my brake fluid, but keep forgetting >_< >_< >_<

No more TMF down the side! Looking very good though, the wheels really suit the poo brown. Sort the red bits and he'll be looking spot on!

Shifty - no wonder you are 'very happy indeed'. That is just superb. These doors are fitting so well.

All the best
