Ur not wrong there , thought I had a decent set when I had the hippo but soon realised I need to some real grown up tools, lol
Got some longer spanner and dumpy sockets , put an ordinary spanner in the pic as a comparison
Uj sockets also handy
Just make sure ur house has a nice garage and a post lift , not that I would ever wish to try and cadge to borrow it mind ,

Bloody hell thats blown some!!!!!
Day off today so trying to get a lot done!
First up A Bar welded up
All welded up and ready for a lick of CIO basecoat. I had them weld in a bar at the rear too so I can choose to mount my lights where ever, also adds a little strength
Dropped off the landy for the AC to be checked/repaired depending on whats wrong with it.... Hope its an easy fix!!
Soon as I get it back straight onto fitting the slotted discs! Hopefully be done by 7pm

Allisport dont make AC condensors as much as I ask them
Three coats of coarse FXLiner and its on!
Fitted with x2 M12s bolted through and will be fitted with x2 M10s and a rivnut (youd need very bendy child hands to get in there otherwise!) Should hold it enough.

Got the slotted front discs fitted aswell, pretty basic job took about an hour per side.
Splitting the disc from the hub
Drifted on with my new rawhide hammer (for work actually but perfect for this!)
Good trick a mate taught me when torqueing up discs, makes it a very simple job. Added some high strength loctit for good measure.
Got rid of the awful "mud guards" all ive gound they do is trap ****, score the discs and make a god awful noise. Skip for them. Cleaned up the area a touch, also noticed a bit of play in the swivel bearings dropped two shims and all gone
Pretty ay
Protective layer gone, still look pretty
All in all rather succesful day! now for the damn annoying part...
New calipers
New discs
Two different sets of pads - Brembo & Ferrodo
New pad fitting kit
Special brake grease
THEY STILL SQUEAK!!
So im going to fit new rear pads and fitting kit and hope for the best. If not then i guess ill be driven insane

It’s the heat u know, lol
allisport make the intercoolers don’t they, doh, lol
Thought because of urs being expensive it may of been a special one , as my ac condenser was only around £90
Bumper is Looking good by the way

Yeah as far as I can tell, each disc was labelled left and right, took that to mean right is drivers side, left passenger side.
That is tight! lol it was loosened again after I found play in the swivels but I'll double check now! Thanks
Yes based of yours and others recommendations! I can only assume the rears are squeaking...
Reason I went for the slotted discs is the standard discs while 'fine' did have a few grooves in them and you could feel they where not at all flat. That plus 80% of my driving is on reasonable fast country lanes for around 80 miles a day in a near fully loaded landy so seemed like a sensible upgrade to me and not just bling.
I quite like the bumper too, its very close to what I was after just a little beefier, should look better with a few spots and the winch fitted. Which I hope to get for a decent price at Kelmarsh this weekend!

Make sure you have enough space to fit the lights and the winch, iirc we covered this before..
Will look better with the winch fitted. You going rope or wire?
Cheers

We have covered it. If I get the lights I want they should fit, though all suppliers are out and not restocking! I have however found the OE in China which will sell them direct shipped for the same price so thats fine by me. Though I will see if anyone has them at the show.
Plan was to fit 4, at "5 each and a little spacing they should fit fine.
As for winch my choice atm is the Winchmax "military" version. IP68 (apparently) plasma rope, wireless, fairlead and a bag of goodies £429 usually again hopefully a show discount
