My 400 mile round trip yesterday in Wilma

Hopefully this looks right, god knows i hate these rear brakes

[MatBrown]

Yeah, close enough.

Well its been a righ fkup from start to finish to be honest.
Everything came apart ok, offised rear caliper had a seized slider now fixed, thrust washer fooked nearside new one sourced genuine renault 7 quid, disc wouldnt fit nearside but does now through cleaning up, new cap sourced through reno 9 quid.

First set of pads were wrong didnt come with torx fitment, got a second set torx screws too short grrrr, had 2 spares 2 new ones on order for tomorrow.

Bias valve off, bugger me that was tight and messy so many cuts n bruises.

So need to refit new bias valve and offside pads bleed all four brakes and change wishbones. Knowing my current run of luck the bleed nipples will snap off.

[Rob.]

Mat have you seen lead weights like that before?

[MatBrown]

Yes, it's just an anti-rattle device, he doesn't really need the 'p' clip on that side.
Also the torx screws are not needed for the pads, some calipers don't have the holes for them.

New caliper fitted today and bias valve courtesy of mat is in situ

[Rob.]

Get some new bolts on there too to make it clean as a babies bottom under there.

[Graham.]

Back on four wheels to turn her round to fit drivers side wishbone and bleed the o/s/f brake.
Pedal is solid as a rcok at the mo but gonna bleed it just so know all 4 corners have been done.
Battery currently on charge as shes flat as a pancake after been stood around all this time.
Hope fully the replacement bias valve, shocks and wishbones should sort a few issues out. Bugger me that anti rollbar clamp to wishbone was a pig to get in.
