A stressful day....

[T_J_G]

Wanted to fit my 312mm front brakes and new rear discs and pads today. But the 312mm carriers haven't turned up so decided to just sort the rears for now. It seems the carriers are lost in transit somewhere...

What a pig of a job, the new pads didn't come with these little metal clips that on one side kept falling off and made it near IMPOSSIBLE to fit the pads in. Took about 5 hours to do the whole job with the other side taking about 30 minutes. It was chucking it down all day and very wet. 

Meanwhile I tried to find my leak, the bonnet release grommit was fine so reinstalled it and used a lot of silicone so around it so I can rule that out.

Fitted my new wipers while I was at it, a great improvement. So quiet and efficient. Happy days!

Old discs 





New wipers:




And I'm left with a car that won't rev below 1300 RPM....

Aeros FTW 

Do you mean it wont idle?

[T_J_G]

It sits steady at 1300 an takes a while to come back down if you rev it. I'll investigate firther in the morning. I've only just dried off.

Hopefully carriers will be here tomorow. Yeah the old discs were ready to be binned.

Temp sensor?.... Any fault codes?

Any problems starting it?

[T_J_G]

No problems starting it, temp sender is near brand new.

That's that then!
