  • Bloody brakes!

    Finished work at about 3 today and thought ill fit my porsche brakes (thanks Ben!) Was going great, changed flexis, fluid etc fitted new calipers and brackets. Went to put the wheels on and found them fouling the front of the caliper!
    The car is now sat on the ramp at work, wheels off until i can get some spacers. All they need to be is 5mm max...
    So much for an easy job! Had to come home in the smokey fiat uno van with 1 working glowplug Thats going to be great fun to start at 4 tomorrow morning
    Im off tomorrow to richmond, wandsworth, cheam, west wickham and eltham. Does anybody know of somewhere on that run where i can get some spacers from on that route?!

                    I dont drive up that way that much so dont know of any good place to park a lorry.
                    where are you going to/from?
                    what time will you be in that area?

                        If you cant find anywhere i'll can meet you in west wickham wherever you are stopping, its not that much further than croydon for me.

                        There isnt a stella factory there is there? lol

                          I wish there was! I'll be delivering to topps tiles on glebe way, west wickham. It will be easier if you could meet me there. I should be there at about 12, but if i ring you when im on the way round would it be any help? Would you be on your dinner or are you on holiday (again )!
