Cars done
« on: 16 February 2009, 15:22 »
Rang my mum cars all sorted 2 new wheel bearings fitted and the moron that fitted the brake pads last didnt secure the clip that holds the pads in so they was rattling around in the callipers thats the noise I could hear.  :angry:

Said the rear discs will need replacing at some point good chance to upgrade them? Any ideas?  :smiley:
Golf SOLD. Replaced with a Yamaha Raptor 660 quad and loving it. This will be replaced in August with a Raptor 700. Sold the quad now got a Vectra GSI 2.5 V6 and its the nuts.

You could do the 256mm rears lot of money for not much extra braking power - thay do look much better tho IMO  :wink:

Any idea how much they work out? Was thinking off getting some grooved rear discs and just getting bigger front brakes? Not sure on what though?
