so after limping via halfords on the way home to pick up a crappy set of basic ferodos i set about in the pouring rain chagin me pads! thank fcuk its soooo simple, compared to the bendix calipers, etc on my old 1.4 the girling type on this ere valver was a dream to change!!! so front end in the garage for hour or so and am stoppin on a six pence again!laffin!
oh ah n i managed to drive the 10 miles or so home from work, including stoppin at halfords, without using the brakes more than twice!!! and i live on a hill!!!was quite proud of engine brakin and me hand brake, was half expectin to rip me handbrake off and blow me box!haha! oh n all that was in torretial rain n all!
