what have you done to your car today ?

[iammooks]

I think I've fixed my brakes...

The only thing I've not bled recently has been the master cylinder. I've put it off more than I should have, given it's a pain to get to and even more of a pain to bleed, given you have to try and get a spanner in there and then open the bleed nipple without dropping the spanner into the engine compartment. Gahhh... Got the girlfriend to push the brake pedal while I was out in the cold and when I got in after and started the engine...

Firm pedal...

I'm a bit annoyed though, given that the reservoir cap was loose as. I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but maybe a combination of making sure the cap was totally tight and bleeding the master cylinder just got the brakes back how they should be. They're not perfect and I don't know if I have the patience to go round the car again bleeding every last molecule of air out, but they're definitely hard again how I remember them.

Only gotta heat the bit around the bolt, then get the heat off and while it’s hot give the bolt a soak of wd40 sometimes you get a satisfying Crack when the bolt lets go. Just as you say don’t melt the fucker haha

I reckon I will though - any excuse to set something on fire.

Well being as you have a replacement, you’re either gonna sort the old one or have a fire. Both are happy endings

It's great. The previous owner had put some crummy "Drivemaster" one in and it kept disconnecting itself somehow. New one cranks much better too

never heard of Drivemaster don't sound good though might of caused a short, I've got one of them ctek chargers and the bat charges ok ect but i reckon the heater plugs are not getting upto temp. just think the grunt of the bat is gone but it is original, but got me moneys worth lol i had an excid saved on my ebay for ages but this varta is a better spec, could of got the excid cheaper though

I’ve got a gel battery on my Harley. That thing on could crank an aircraft carrier. Well worth the cash

Drivemaster battery’s are cheap and don’t last
If your after a good top quality battery go for a yuasa even come with a 5 year warranty

Front, rear or both?

 

[Alexis27]

Yeah and how much did you pay? Trying to save the £360 I need for an H&R set.

Just the rear for now, 24mm. Going to see how it all handles with the strut brace and LCR arb up front.

Its a safety thing !!! - and £140 is a good price for safety kit ....side note - improves handling a fair bit too.

Every thing is safety...... fit it all

I had a touch of snappy oversteer pushing it round a corner other day, had to eradicate that. Its unsafe!
