Ok. MOT time and need to replace all my discs and pads on my valver. These are my ideas? 1) Stick with standard on the back 2) Get some Tarox 40 grooves and Tarox pads for the front, or Brembo Max discs and pads? I was wondering if this is overkill as I rarly experience brake fade, but it...

Well that makes sense. Came out of the house to find that someone had given the passenger side mirror a good thump. Will see if anything is disconneting and attempt to reconnet. Cheers Mat.

This morning driving to work my temp told me that it was -30 and would not stop flashing(which is dam annoying). Anyhow I dont really think it is -30? I suppose my thermometor is fupped, where is it located and is there anyway to stop the flashing?

Im only about 1/2, you know like a pencil. But I have been told it is what you do with it that counts.

My back brakes are starting to get rusty and my pads are very low and will need replacing before my MOT in 2 months. Can I, easily, swap the backs to the fronts and get some uprated brakes for the front, or are they different? Cheers Mat.

I am about to uprate my brakes, as for some reason I keep overheating the bloody things and the garage assures me there is nothing wrong with them. I have read on there forums about fast road/race pads. People say that they are not very good at low temperatures or low speeds(i.e. they are v.good...

Does anybody know if you can use the Drivers side 1-touch window button on the passenger window and sunroof? If so does anybody know where you can get hold of them? Cheers Mat.

I have just been servicing my car and changing the spark plugs(this is strangley the first time I have ever changed spark plugs). I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of oil and the plugs, loose runny oil. Is this normal? Mat.

Sorry. Can someone explain to me exactly how I do this as I am a little confused. I thought there were only 4 jacking points on the car! Mat.

According to the Haynes manual the axle stand locations are the same as the jacking points. So I jack the car up on one side and attempt to place the axle stand in the correct location, this is tricky as my jack is there! Ok, use the other jacking point at the back and place my axle stand at...
