Re: TIMS BX BLOG
GT failed the MOT today, on a brake flexi (which had been replaced before I got it with one thats too long and was rubbing on the body) and a split steering rack book, which cost about £15 for the pair, I had the front brakes stripped, cleaned and calipers lubricated as the handbrake mechanicisms were starting to seize.
Not bad for a 29 year old car that hasnt turned a wheel in 17 months.
Photoshoot for practical classics is arrange for week after next.

Re: TIMS BX BLOG
All sorted now i hope? Steering rack gaiter can be a pain to fit, depending on what side.
Good luck with the piccies.

Re: TIMS BX BLOG
Nearside, im not doing it, one of technicians prefers working on older cars so he is on the job.
Just found a small split in the n/s CV boot so that will be done at the same time.

Re: TIMS BX BLOG
Well that was a faff, one CV boot, flexi pipe, caliper strip and rebuild, exhaust reseal and the awkward steering rack gaiter plus a spilt ram feedpipe and a small service and she is now good to go.
and I am £264 lighter...., now a very good valet is needed for the photoshoot!
