I'm thinking after x3 years in storage I'm going to replace the brakes all round , complete set. Discs, pads and calipers. I just fitted rear pads as they were down as low on the last mot there was a good 3 mil left lower than I would like. I checked them all at the same time the rear calipers pushed back OK I should have checked the front calipers for ease of movement but didn't |

Bit of a rattle on cold start this morning it went away almost immediately I'm thinking 1 of the lifters is draining back over night. Time for oil and filter change next. |

Yeah agreed, I am going to do the same with the brakes. Yeah Head bearings will be a joy.... just wondering whether the garage roof is actually up to the task. Thinking on balance possibly not and using that as a very lazy excuse to farm the job out!

Just the feel of them and I'm sure I can feel the groves dragging when braking. |

I uprated my heater matrix O rings after original type failed on me twice, think they were just ever so slightly thicker that and the nut and bolt mod seems to have fixed it for good. Now iv gone and done it will prob leak on me now. |

Replaced the rear wiper motor, now all fixed I can clear my rear screen. Also did a stone chip repair its 98% better. Next on the list is a machine polish and sealant iv not polished it in over x3 years so the paints held up well in storage. |
