Yeh, the plumbing to change to a CV type dosent look that difficult, one pipe to re-route and a new slightly longer one from the reservoir. Maybe I can get the old one one ebay and make a profit! I want to try and avoid the cheapo britpart jobs as I've heard lots of bad things about their brake...

Too many mince pies?

Just when I thought my brakes were finally sorted... I found some fluid dripping down the brake pedal. The master cylinder is leaking. I checked it out and its a 1" Girling CB type which LRSeries want £511 + vat for. :eek: I'll have a look round and see if I can find a repair kit. I think the...

I'll be there

No problem, its in the garage so I didn't get wet. I might even jetwash it tomorrow if the weather is better.

Hi Jai Checked on mine and the rear plate is about 6", front about 8" long. On the front the shock mounting point is to the rear and there is about 2" between the shock mounting bolt center and the rear U-Bolt hole center. I cant quite see the shock mounting on the rear plate but it looks a...

Piccys from today. Plenty were unusable due to the low sun and the crappy camera phone, but some were ok.

Thanks again to Brett for another great day out, sorry to hear about your dirveshafts. I managed to come away unscathed apart from bust wing mirror glass due to some inept reversing. Photos are uploading to photobucket as I type...

No problem. I've found some cable too which might be useful. My wing mount has a mini UHF connector on it, but the cable is plain ended so this would need to be sorted. If you need anything soldering up let me know and I can bring an iron on wed if we can scrounge a mains socket at the pub.

Yep. Thats the UHF connector that the SWR meter connects to, but when I say I've got a spare aerial, that all it is - an aerial. It needs a cable and mount. I've got a spare wing mount you can have but I'm not sure if I've got a cable and obviously you need to drill holes to mount it. If you;re...

Jack, I've just been up in my loft to put the christmas tree away and found an old rigid aerial and SWR meter. I'm not sure if a rigid one is suitable for driving around with, never mind laning but you're quite welcome to it if you want.

I'll be there too. Don't care where we go, I'm happy just to tag along.

There's a beta version for android Memory-Map • View topic - Memory-Map Android App *BETA version* I don't know how good it is but I did notice that the iOS version has terrible reviews. I've never used either.

:o

Whoo hoo! I've finally got my 109 back. The brakes are sorted, as are a host of minor things that I had done at the same time (new wheel bearing, engine mounts, rear crank shaft oil seal, lift pump, couple of minor oil leaks sorted.... ) Feels good to get it back. The brake pedal is now a solid...

I wouldn't mind a Sailsbury trip, I was a bit gutted about missing the Wales trip. The 109 is off to the garage again on monday, so I might even be back on the road soon. More importantly I'm supposed to be having my dinner, but I'm hungry because Ocado are late. WHERE IS MY LASAGNE? SORT...

This was outside work this morning I mean, that's pretty bad parking - even by my standards.

We've got people coming for lunch, so I might not been down there after all, on the other hand if we go out for a walk they might be lots of us!

It looks like a Panasonic DMC-G3 to me.
