Ah right, I replaced that as well as the silver bit as it was in 3 pieces :)

My trim colour is parchment and I used this to paint the old seat valance when I repaired it previously (first pic) not an exact match but petty close.

I need to check the colour of mine. It's a sand colour but I can't remember the correct name. I had a look at those paints and nothing is near it. I saw this and think this is the right colour just looking a bit dark, due to light. s-l1600.jpg

I can't remember name of my colour , will have to check. If I can get away with lainting at the moment I will get them done, when arches are done. I saw this on ebay and think it's my colour, bit a bit dark due to lighting. s-l1600.jpg

After my near death experience last saturday on my Vespa scooter ride i have today mostly been clay barring my L405 in the safety of my mancave of which i am staying in until i feel better. I have to say its the first time ever i have used a clay bar technique and although its a very time consuming process its quite rewarding results wise. Just when you think your bodywork is clean and polished the amount of dirt that comes off on the clay is unreal. More to do tomorow. Rome wasn't built in a day and the L405 is the size of Rome. LOL

The Norwegian fellow has a YouTube video on bleeding the brakes. Two person job.

Don't say that. I only replaced it a few years back.

What's the price of diesel?

Round here, it is 1p/l less than petrol. Which is nice. Still 132.9p/l to 133.9p/l but even though, any time my beloved derv is cheaper I am happy.

I’ve always bled the brakes on my own (and manual box slave cylinder) (and every other job) never had problems. I gave up once when clutch dropped to floor but everyone here convinced me give it one more go and BYU!

Trick is take your time and keep topping up so level doesn’t do go down in the expansion tank.


Il order some fluid and a flexi now and get it to you soon as poss.

Won't lie, I am a little bitch when it comes to working on my P38. I live in constant fear of breaking my own means of transport. Wasn't so bad when I was living in Hounslow as I lived in the wire, and our workshop was full of competent VMs who could help if needed. Living in Yeovil now, I am 7 miles from work, and I wouldn't trust these ****s to change a light bulb...

Ah well, needs must and all that. What's the worst that could happen? I car share for a few weeks?

Thank you though, I'll have to send some beer tokens your way... or more orange paint, whichever takes your fancy.
