Chassis is a 1995 xflow live axle, Bilsteins height adjustable shocks all round. I'm removing all 4 shocks for a rebuild (Is a rebuild cost effective compared to new?). The alan bolt holding the top of the front shock to the chassis, is it a 3/8" alan key I require to remove the bolt? Also, to remove the adjustable platforms I require a 'C' spanner, are these spanner's all one size? Finally, will I require spring clamps to remove the springs?

I replaced my A021's with Uniroyal Rain Experts, 185/70x13. Not as grippy as the Yoko's but I find them perfectly acceptable for road use on my xflow.

I purchased new callipers from a Triumph/MG 'shop', no idea who the manufacturer was, it was certainly not Girling. When fitted I had a similar problem, air in the system and no leaks. With much force you could actually press the break pedal down to the floor. I contacted the 'shop' who told me I had been supplied with the incorrect nipples, they sent me some more nipples, a little longer, I wasn't convinced and still the issue remained. I contacted them to complain questioning the build quality of the callipers (castings) and they basically told me to 'go away'. I eventually rebuilt my old Girling callipers and pleased I did. This tale doesn't really help you, however it's just to let you know I had air in the system and no leaks.

Sorry Steve, no. Just thought I would just show what you are looking for.

I have a 95 live axle xflow 'N' registered and it's the long cockpit variant. It also has the earlier trunnion front geometry set up.

A little late, however that's my set up. 1995 xflow, live axle, under dash handbrake.

Somewhere in the archives (someone my be able to find it) there is a flow chart detailing the MOT emission test for a xflow. My 95 xflow is just visual smoke test.

Oh dear not good and so annoying.

So, Giles, the red and black wires on your eBay buzzer link you would just connect to your indicator warning light positive & negative feeds?

My 7 is ali, I use Autoglym metal polish. I've used various other polishes but I find the Autoglym creates a protective barrier and protects the ali longer. Yes it does get mucky when out driving but a bucket of water cleans off the muck still leaving the shine. The car is never SORN'd so used throughout the year albeit not to often over winter but a polish around spring time will last the '6 months' blatting season. I'm not saying go for ali, just my experience of owning an ali car. And yes I'm sure a painted car will be easier to keep clean, also, you can choose your colour.

Think the '7 Wonders' heater #15 is a Clayton heater?
-
Don't know if it makes any difference but Rays car is a XFlow and the heater fitted to that chassis/engine was different to the K series chassis/engine Just a thought.

There were a few posts on this subject a couple of weeks ago. No doubt the posters will point you in the right direction or try a search yourself.

McB, don't know if you aware, and if you want to but the calipers can be rebuilt. Sorry, just seen multiple posts.
