Not me I'm afraid Tony. Both nieces have a birthday party Saturday.

Pretty much. Plus discs and pads are easier to change than the drum pads in my opinion.

Just as a thought. I'm not a fan of drum rears. I hated them on my old vectra.

Okey doke. My 86 dci doesn't. :( What would be required to swap over. Hub and handbrake setup?

Do any of the Mk3's, bar the 197/ 200's, come with rear discs as appose to drums?

Cracking pics fella! Will be sending you an email later. ;)

The only sporty car at our work is owned by a lesbian. It's a Honda Type-R Limited Edition - The white one. Other than that, there's a Corsa with a VXR bodykit, the MD has a BMW 5 series diesel, one of the directors has a big Audi (I'm so not a car person at all), One of the old biddy's has a...

Haha, yeah, I won't be bashing the standard one out. ​Haven't actually seen where the cat is on my MK3. Did you get a backbox as well fella?

Yeah, that's the plan. My poor bike build budget looks to be heading towards the car at present. Remap, Decat, bucket seat, harness...

I was told in another thread, that the injectors and fuel pump were different, but can't find anything to back up the fuel pump. Is the turbo different too then? And yeah, remapping would be a must.

As well as that, I'm browsing the internet now, looking for 106bhp compatible parts to make some more power...

My Mk3's last tankful was just over 750 miles, and that was commuting to and from work and weekend driving for about 6 weeks. 63mpg. Llandow, I got it down to 23.7mpg on track. ​N3eDz M0aR P0w3r!!!1!

Impressed with my Nankang NS2's. Already done about 13,000 miles, done llandow and still have about 3mm left.

Photos of what?!? :/

There'll be cookies...

No wonder I never see you then! LOL.

Haha. I was already in work for 40 minutes, ya lazy begger! :p

Was that you making your way to work at 8:55am this morning Adam, leaving Adderbury? I was taking one of our pool cars to the garage as it's fecked.

Nigel noticed the area under the scuttle panel was full of water whilst it was in there Friday. So have taken the scuttle panel off and cleared the blockages on both drain tubes. it was flooded in there! thankfully nowhere near the electrics.

No problems dude. I changed mine for those ones I posted up, and they look good. Really good when it's darker out too. Lights up the inside of the car a treat. The Glovebox and Boot lights are the same ones too.

I wouldn't even bother if you're only keeping it a year. It'll be wasted money. Unless it's stuff you can swap over to the new motor, and you keep the original parts.

Howzit. Over here you'd get a tug from the police, but not sure in Gauteng. Interior lights are easy - they're 501 fitments like your sidelights. I got some LED ones off eBay. Like this...

Clean your room.

Ah, no worries then buddy. If you hear crying - either the DCI is broke or Tony has got hold of me.

When you say strip down and lube, was that copper-slip on the back of the pads, or a caliper strip down?

Not so bad today. First part of the journey was fine, but some squealing at the end. Bit wetter here today. Will see what they're like after Llandow next weekend!

Great news about Automax. I'm down there Friday afternoon. Come down for a day out dude. Watch my dci kicking out clouds of black smoke! Hehe

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeettt!!! Bring it to Llandow next week? :p There's supposed to be a BMW specialist in town. John Darby I think.

My brakes are squealing like a b**ch at present, and have done since about the beginning of June. Plenty of meat left on them. Brembo Discs up front with Feredo pads. It's been washed several times so I doubt it's brake dust. It's also a bit sporadic in when it does it. Stops fine, no...

Dude, I wanna see this in the flesh! Where did you call round here? After Tony's advice I got Nigel at Automax to do my Clio. I provided the bits too. Might be worth a shout.
