Been preparing this for the Driving Day on Sunday, which should be messy.

The brakes have been complaining a lot for the past few drives, so I stripped down the front brakes last night.  There were stones trapped behind one of the splash guards which was the source of a lot of the complaints.  The splash guards have now been modified to stop this happening - slotted to allow the stones to fall out:



I also found that one of the sliders on the carriers on each side had seized VERY tightly.  Carriers came off and had a drill run down the sliders, then emery paper over the pins, nice big gob of grease put in and re-assembled.

Now stops much better!

No flooding.  Just what's left over from the Festival.
