Ah, well hidden!

I guess this is a start but I personally would like to see somewhere dedicated to the S/V40 where all these articles can reside. JSeaman has made a great start, I see no reason why we can't all add to this collection and build up a great reference section which would be of use to many of us.

Unless there is some legitimate reason for not wishing to do so?

Thanks again for the comments all - I'll migrate them into the articles section and maintain them here so everyone's happy. That way you can pick your preference. Cam belt, clutch etc will probably make an appearance too at somep oint

Excellent idea.

I'd love a some guides on the brake system (changing discs & pads, also changing the brake lines to braided hoses etc).

I'll probably do pads soon and while I'm there I will mention how to do discs and brake lines. Just need to grab some pads but probably won't have time at the weekend
