Hello Paul, pm sent.

PM sent though it said all recipients blocked ?!?!

Richard, thanks haven't been able to get through to C7 parts so was extrapolating with what info I had. Those prices sound a lot more reasonable. Rob, yes the Mintex 1144s would be my pad of choice. The uprated master cylinder sounds interesting SM25T, thanks and what would you budget for that Caliper/disc upgrade?

Firstly after a long absence, I'm back. Been getting muddy with off road shenanigans amongst other things but nice to be back and hope everyone is well. Secondly and partly the reason for the absence is that, despite many attempts to cure squeaking from the front hubs, the RH front brake eventually seized in a cloud of smoke. No drama, just pulled off the road. So I'm going to need new discs, calipers and pads. Caterham charge £250+ a side for just the calipers I think, so probably £650 all in incl pads. Car is an uprated xflow road car running 165bhp on 14" x 6" rims so considering options: 1) could buy some second hand standard calipers and fit new discs 2) buy new all Caterham at £650+ 3) buy new Hi-spec calipers 2pot (or uprated 4pot which only cost £174/side) 4) buy uprated new Caterham kit for £1,100+ I've heard it said the std calipers are good for up to 150bhp so maybe an upgrade beckons. Interested in any experience of similar and what upgrades have impacted rear brake balance. Thanks in advance. McB

Bruce, Can I ask what horsepower that makes?

Ah the B4000, the 4000, the 4000!

Andrew (grenpayne) going north from Avebury around 4.30pm today. At least I thought it was as I saw a flash of orange as I had my foot down.....we were in our green and yellow flow disturbing the sheep. Was that you? What a great day

On behalf of friend it's 4 years old and done only 300 miles so essentially brand new. He wants around £5750 for it

Heard the tell tale sound of the side exit exhaust bark and caught sight of a green flash heading towards Houghton at around 2pm today........... Who was that?

Today ali green around 11.30am going towards Dunmow 2 up with bobble hats , then orange at 5.30pm in Hertford on A414 heading east.

I had a X308 4 litre and had to smile when Mrs McB and her 3 daughters decided to shake off some arsebandit and floor it on the M3

Can anyone advise if the head for a 1760cc with flat top forged pistons would be flat or chambered? I can't recall if mine had it or not. Marc is asking for this information.

That's £1000/ft....

Gulf colours or just light blue with half hood. I flashed you in the RAV4 as you did a U turn at the high street. Bit slippery today I would think... Was that a red wig you were wearing?!

Forgot to add: Spark plugs B6ES with 36 thou gap Carb jets I think were 32mm or 34mm (difference is one is better torque for road use)
