I know they won't fit D1 axle, but just interested in how D2 brakes compare? I suppose 200tdi ayre will be using them on his rear axle?

They're meant to be better and my TD5 disco stands on its nose when breaking so hoping that my 90 thats over galf a tonne lighter should stop pretty quick

Mr Noisy · Dec 31, 2014

Thanks for the part numbers Dave

IMO d2 brakes were a backwards step in the caliper department, being single or at the very best twin pot (can't remember) floating Calipers as opposed to decent 4pot fixed calipers on earlier vehicles

That's not to say that the clamping force wasnt equal or better, but I always prefer solid calipers, as floating calipers rely on the sliding pins which can easily swell and seize after water ingress!

Yeah mine stop really well too, some people put fancy pads and grooved disks in, but I just use standard disks and mintex pads, no fade to speak of either (heard folks with EBC green stuff complain of it).

P38 brakes are crap

How so? Just undersized for a P38?

OK I can understand this, had seized pins on mine before (with 10 yr old calipers mind you!).

Nice one cheers noisy..hmm need to.decide now iv I should go vented or not.i assumed vented would be just asking for trouble with mud etc

Mr Noisy · Jan 1, 2015

Well I always maintained it would but I've not had any problems yet!

Paulmitchell1984 · Jan 2, 2015

Don't say that that means I need vented discs too lol

Mr Noisy · Jan 2, 2015

you need vented discs.....

:behindsofa:

Mr Noisy · Jan 2, 2015

honestly though after fitting the 110 setup on the front, it locks the front wheels (on tarmac) without too much trouble so definitely better!

Paulmitchell1984 · Jan 2, 2015

Cool suppose il put them on my list then.

Mr Noisy · Jan 19, 2015

Gotta tell you chaps I've been a bloody busy boy these past couple weeks!

I've had to do a number of repairs, track rod ends, panhard bush and £100 rose joint from QT

and new A frame bushes as the car had become near undriveable.

That's all sorted now and she drives lovely again.

But that's boring, you lot wana see some mods

So I'll get some pictures later!

What was the rose joint for? Panard or arms?
what size is the join out of curiosity?
you should get something made up with a cheaper join son!

Mr Noisy · Jan 20, 2015

QT Panhard mate

It an M16x2.00 male thread with a 14mm hole at 21mm thick.

The fact that the joint was 16mm/14mm made it hard to source as far as i could see

did the usual stuff like rosejoints.co.uk and everything seemed to be equal sized!

i had to bite the bullet in the end...

Mr Noisy · Jan 20, 2015

####ing ridiculous price btw

Bennehboy · Jan 20, 2015

:nopics:

Mr Noisy · Jan 20, 2015

Yes yes

Good things come to those who wait

No time last night!

M16x2mm Rod End Right Hand Male - Ultra High Performance

This is probably a better joint that the one used, the only thing you would have to do is get a sleeve to make the bolt hole 14mm from 16mm.. I could even make it if you want.

Oh and you can get rubber boots for them too!

Mr Noisy · Jan 21, 2015

thanks for the link mark

i did look at options

even thought about drilling the axle to 16mm

but then though keeping oem 14mm is better for emergencies

i also thought about sleeving but its hard enough keeping play under control as it is, without even more surfaces to wear!

Sleaving is a very viable option, it would not result in any additional wear. You could even make it from en24 or stainless which is harder if your that worried about wear.

Oh and maybe a thou interference for a light press fit aswell.
