The only reason coppor grease is put on the back of pads is to stop squelling, at least you know what's wrong anyway.

never had a problem with not putting it on before though, part of me thinks the discs need to be replaced tbh even though theyre very new. when i brake it feels like the brakes are catching at a certain point when the wheel goes round. it was the same before the pad change

DHL in JFK airport were closed yesterday for Good Friday, weird.

During the week was on to them, package sent over eventually got customs clearance, think it was Wed 5pm Irish time I was speaking to them, they said they'd get it to the receiver on Thursday, I asked could they not get it there on Wed evening as it was only lunch time over there, no she said... "but if you want you can arrange a courier to collect it from us here", collect from DHL, sweet mother of divine .... :eek: :rolleyes:

Nope, work stuff.

Don't think I'll do anything to the van, gone off the idea of sorting a decent head unit even, little to no interest tbh

Ebay.de is your friend there! Could spend hours browsing it and finding stuff with Google translate on hand as they were popular enough on the mainland.

Yeah of course. If it was enforced better we wouldn't have cars like the below on the road, with body work hanging off, no working rear indicators and only one functioning brake light. C**nts.

How you getting on with that anyhow?

Always liked them myself but hear they give fierce electrical problems and I know the older model was fond of ateing injectors.

It's grand, feel at home in it now, alters the driving experience hugely, not the thing to be going too quickly in at all at all. Despite that it feels planted enough in its own right. It's basic enough spec wise, no climate control, no auto wipers, no parking sensors but it has a bit of character or something that's growing on me, haven't seen another one since I bought it, I like that

Had a big day planned with the DA and it's fockin raining of course!
Need the thermostat replaced on the beemer too, next job!
