Hi Mike, which caliper did you use?

Time is approaching to change the rear pads on my standard Sierra cailpers. I have been using Mintex 1155 to come with the high heat generated at the rear axle and of course out here in Dubai. A quick check indicates that pads are now £110 for the 1155 and about half that for 1144's. My current brake set up is the AP 4-pots on the front and the uprated master cylinder. Are there any reasonably priced bolt on options that would improve my rear brakes? I don't need the handbrake so can use anything really. Don't want to spend big money on AP's, just looking for a cheap and simple replacement for the sierra calipers. Dubai Duratec SV

Nice scales, very tempting. As to the laser, there is no way event he cheapest laser will have any degradation over the distance of a wheelbase. Maybe over a Cathedral, I get the feeling its just the commercial laser companies trying to justify their prices.

Just had a mate of mine have his tube fail at the A-frame mount out here in Dubai. Haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but what is the difference between the narrow and wide buttress. His is a '94 K-Series, need to make sure we order the correct tube. Not sure if the A-Frame is OK, as he says the wheel has movedquite a lot and has a load of toe-in. Any advice would be much appreciated. Dubai Duratec SV

Interesting readin this thread, I think I will have to tweak my settings a bit to see if I can get rid of my low revs full throttle black hole. What software version are you all using, I am on K3 V1.0 rev 0.81 and wonder if there is anything newer available. Dubai Duratec SV

Yeah you need to measure the average AFR, as measuring just one could give you an incorrect picture of the whole engine. Most seem to place them after the 4-1 or 4-2-1 part of the manifold

You will be able to recover the data for free using one of the tools in the previous link, just try a few of the free ones until you find one that works. Once you have got your data off safely, you can simply go to XP Disk Management as described earlier, then delete the partition, re-install it and the hard drive will then work perfectly. THere is nothing wrong with the hardware, the boot sector code just got corrupted, that's all.

Yes RAW is a photo file type, but it is also a Hard Disc "state" See here p.s. the software above is not free but the trial version will tell you if you can recover your partition Pooh, I won't say it isn't the usb, but I would bet it is a corrupt MBR. This is a common problem that happens when for among other reasons when a PC crashes and a USB device is plugged in.

OK, had this before, don't worry your files are still there. I fixed it by installing the disc in my PC and running FIXMBR However this may be difficult for you. First thing you have to do is find out what kind of File Allocation Table (FAT) your drive is using, i.e. FAT32 or NTFS. Do this by right clicking on My Comuter select Manage, then go to Disk Management. Once you kow what FAT you are using you can get all kinds of freeware tools that will undelete, copy your files or fix your hard disc. Try here for free tools This one looks like a good option
