    Front axle stand positioning

    Nice one, yeah these imagines defo show the points where I’ll be placing the stands next time I come to jacking up the front, I want to replace the front discs and pads at some point in the coming weeks. I just have a feeling that the calliper pins are going to be a nightmare to remove!

    Evening I hope all are doing well. It’s as the title really asks, what are the gains for having the rear spoiler installed? I got to say those that are fitter really do set it off, but other than the looks, does it really improve the handling? & if so is it only at the higher speeds that you...

    Rear ABS ring and sensor replacement

    So I was able to attempt the job replacing the ABS bracket and the ABS rings, its a timely job working the old ABS brackets from the housing on the Stub Axle but with some patience and some grease penetrator they came off quite cleanly. The drivers side ABS bracket was way more worn than the...
