Yeah they pick up dirt really quickly, it's such a pain! They look really good when they're clean though so it's worth it
VERY-VERY nice Dale.
Like me: your let down by the expansion tank somewhat now. Why does every single one you see look like that ! ?
***I feel an idea coming on
Yeah the tank looks horrible! It pains every time I see it as I'm unable to clean inside it! :excited: Hopefully when I get my coolant changed along with cambelt/water pump etc next week it will look less brown? Pretty sure it's not supposed to be that colour haha
EDIT: If you give it a little bang on top, you can get most of the droplets off the top of it so it looks a little better when taking pictures.
Awesome dale!
Really on a spending spree at the minute
Let us know how you get on with changing the discs!
To be fair the pipe was only like £3.50 for 1m of it off eBay
Yeah will probably post some pics up tomorrow if I get chance to fit them, fingers crossed it doesn't rain all day!

Tank needs removing and pressure washing out etc when doing a coolant change IMO. Thats what i'll do.
Gonna make a cover for it also i think as my next project

Lmfao....
Think I just about heard it, or that might be the gf snoring next to me... not sure.
So managed to change rear discs + calipers today, and it only took me about 4 hours
To be fair though, it took me 3 hours to do the first side, and then once I knew what I was doing the second was easy peasy!
One of the calipers was stuck to the disc (yes I had the handbrake off ) I'm thinking the pads were stuck, so after changing the car drives a smoother/feels slightly faster which would make sense if the pads weren't retracting fully causing constant braking on that disc.
Shame I ran out of light, will have to change the fronts next week

Great work Dale
You think the problem was due to the pads sticking to the caliper itself; and not coming back as the piston retracts ?

Yeah I think so, because the handbrake was off but one of the calipers was 'stuck' to the disc.
Had to disassemble the caliper on the disc in order to get it off.
Good work dale
Hope you put the calliper back lol!!
Was it supposed to go back on?
I'm sure it will be fine
