Opened today but recieved yesterday the calipers from Gary in Scotland thanks Gary and thanks to Tom also for letting me have them as he was next in line keep me busy now lol.

So question is who wants them next so I can pack them up and send them on their way obviously Tom has first refusal but if he's alright somebody else can put their name down.

Doing nothing to the car for a few days now. Currently sitting on a train travelling up to Dunfermline for a training course. Going through Doncaster presently!

Looked at the T4, sat there all covered in salt looking sorry for itself since the head gasket died 6 weeks ago. Should really get it fixed but struggling to find a garage to do it. Everyone I've asked so far as said they don't really want to tackle it because its too complicated or they are too busy.

I would do it myself but I just don't have the time. My commitments are elsewhere right now.

God help me if my HG goes haha.

After seeing Paul's fuel filler cap after he cleaned it out, I decided I wanted to give it a go.

Truth be told, this was done the other day but the photo was taken today, so it has got a bit dirty again already.

Clay Bar used as there was lots of nasty adhesive from what I assume was an old sticker over the 98RON sticker (lets face it not many cars have one of those so it needed bringing out) and a new fuel filler cap fitted and we have a result:



James.

Whats the world coming to when garages can turn work away or don't know how to carry out relatively easy work!
