Disc replacement

Hello again! Cold and dark here in Sweden. The roads haven't been suitable for driving and the car isn't MOT'd so can't drive it anyway. In the mean time I have a long list of jobs to do.

Should keep me busy for a couple of months.

I bought two brake disc kits from EBC as the current ones were, I believe, slightly warped.

Looking good. 

• PD13KF113 kit including GD553 EBC 3GD Series Dimpled And Slotted Sport Discs to Fit Front and DP4914R Yellowstuff brake pads
• PD13KR092  kit including GD554 EBC 3GD Series Dimpled And Slotted Sport Discs to fit rear and DP41079R Yellowstuff brake pads

Had to bash the spacer off

Disc removed as well as brake caliper

The EBC disc in place. 

But when I went to install the pads in the calipers they didn't fit! Called Peter and he told me the rear caliper comes from a VW Golf mark4 (Part No. ADB0797). Had to plead with EBC to swap the pads for the equivalent EBC P/N DP4680R. Will have to wait for their arrival. In the mean time started on the front discs.

Disc removed and calipers in but found the wheel bearing needed replacing! Will have to wait until that arrives too!

Will also change steering rubber boots.

Another job was to fix the fuel leak in the tank. I thought it was in the filler tube but then discovered it was also seeping out around the fuel level sensor hole (nearest). Removed the bolts added fuel sealant and rubber washers to help seal the bolt holes. I need to fill it up to check it worked.

Removed the roll bar as there was a little rust around the bolt holes. Requires a good clean and a rust converter first.

Now I have to wait for the front hubs and rear brake pads to arrive. Perhaps I'll start with the console in the meantime. Bye for now.
