  2. very nice glen, just need to get it painted azure
  3. are you searching for audio devices on the phone? they only thing I think they have upgraded is the compatibility with phones as new ones come out.
  4. quite a few have had them sprayed black, personally not a fan with the rays being repainted but each to there won
  5. TDI North in warrington or if you come over to Manchester L&G. Free courtesy car with L&G
  6. rarity is one of its beauties
  7. is that why you had one
  8. as I said in my post earlier, they're correct and most definitely plausible. The guys at L&G are good are not just out to rip you off. The vibration is definetly caused by the disc and isn't touched when installing braided lines. As they and I pointed out, this issue rises when you have braided lines fitted. It did with me and new discs and pads solved the problem. I also had my lines fitted by L&G for the record but had the discs fitted independently.
  9. excellent guide Husky
  10. hope this gets further than the last scheme where the were going to do a fuel discount card. never took off
  11. alu lube is even better stuff
  12. never seen a wheel being balanced on the car. Sure you will require new discs and pads. I defo try a good bedding in procedure first though to see if it cures it.
  13. a how to fit Brembo Brakes to Fairlady guide here viewtopic.php?f=35&t=39748&hilit=brembo
  14. the metal retainer is just the wear indicator. When the pad gets low the metal prong will rub on the disc making it scrach. Its not required.

    TVR Chimaera

    love a TVR but I'm sure its unreliability and costs would drive me mad even as a weekend car
  16. TDI north
  17. ECE Regulation 90 The European approval standard How is the standard achieved? To achieve the E standard, brake pads must conform to three key areas of regulation: Production The production plant must conform to acceptable control standards such as ISO9002 and carry conformity of production tests on friction, shear and compressibility. Performance Pads must be tested through a combination of independently witnessed vehicle and dynamometer procedures to assess compatibility to the OE pad, speed sensitivity and product integrity. The aftermarket pad must be ±15% of the OE. Packaging Boxes and pads must be marked with a defined set of information, such as the approval number and the applications for which the pads are approved. The box containing the product must be tamper-proof and contain fitting instruction in the language of the country in which it is sold. Is the E standard necessary? If you want to be assured of the highest quality brake pads, the answer is an unequivocal YES. The standard ensures that the company's production conforms to total quality requirements and that the technical performance of the brake pads are the same as those demanded for OE equipment. Is the standard obligatory? The provisions of Regulation 90 have already been ratified and adopted by European Union member states. It is illegal to sell light commecial vehicle brake pads if they have not achieved the standard. It is anticipated that the regulation will apply to heavy commercial vehicles soon. or its this
  18. Mine vibrated at the higher end of speeds due to winter weathering and low usage, as they got hotter the vibration would come down in speed. Do a good bedding in procedure to see if it cures it. If not its time to replace discs and pads I'm afraid.
  19. the problem may be more apparent now, now you've had your braided lines fitted. I had the same issue. The discs aren't touched when fitting the lines so its just something that is now more obvious. I ended up changing my discs as they were quite weathered over winter low usage and the build up of rust on the inner disc was heavy causing uneven wear. The other thing to perhaps consider is your front bushes. They may be split. I also found this issue. ZMANALEX can supply these Changing the discs and pads will now doubt cure the issue. It did for me.
  20. a masters degree in communication, he must of bought that one
