Fifty Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Allo Here is pic of my front brakes; dumb I know but how worn are they? seems to be a few miles left yet; can someone comment. They have done 12000 but never really used in anger. Also can someone point me to best replacement; they are UK 4 pot (I think!).

Fifty Posted June 28, 2004 Author Share Posted June 28, 2004 Wise guys; Ill have you know that stone goes everywhere. I do have a trolley jack but thought Id arse about instead. The more observant will see there is an edge to the tiles which prevents use of tj from the side. Course some of you buggers will have half and acre of flat tarmac to work on; us country folk have to make do lol :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Wish I had a trolly jack, the other day both cars were on the stock jack, 8 wheels swapped over, in 2 lifts and 2 drops, boy that was making me sweet......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Don't forget to look at the inside face pads and disks too.
