    60-20 x20 is what Brembo recommend, so after gently warming them up, that's what I did. It's definitely done something, and seems to have resolved the problem. Only time will tell.

    Drove round for a bit (10 minutes or so) without using the brakes, but it was 3am and I wanted to go to bed. Parked up and left it in gear with the handbrake off. Brakes were still quite hot, but hopefully it'll be okay.

    Bailed yesterday as it was rather icy. Weather is much warmer tonight, so will have another bash. I say there is a large lip, but everything is relative. As they are 30mm new, and only down to 29mm now, the lip can't be more than 1mm? Just gotta drive about and try not to touch them then? Or try find a really flat area to sit without brakes or handbrake on?
  4. The South / London is pretty much the same as the North, just more expensive. Name one good thing you have that we don't.
  5. Don't forget the crap Fish & Chips... And there's plenty of places outside of London with everything you need within walking distance.

    Gonna try going from 60-10-60 and so on between these 2 roundabouts tonight and see if it resolves it After repeating 10 or so times, should I just cruise to a stop put the handbrake on for 30 mins or so to let them cool?
  7. It's not grim, it's just cold, wet and miserable.... but we have hills
  8. Sell up, move up north, buy a nice 3 bed house for 200k with garage plus driveway and get a couple Lambos to put there.

    Isn't a fluctuation check what was happening at 1:15 onward? Seemed to be holding it steady, needle on the right was still, but the left one was wavering. Happy to have a crack at checking them myself, though I don't have the best tools for doing it properly. Should be able to spin the discs and see if there are any variations in thickness etc. Would it be best to try re-bed them first and if that doesn't solve it then take them off and check them?
  10. I think POO would heavily impact a house price in a negative way. Sorry, I have no idea what it means and googling for "POO" related terms didn't help but further the giggling.
  11. Which is why you either pass responsibility onto a letting agency or scrutinise any potential tenants until you find good ones.
  12. Aren't they supposed to be coming up with a standard noise for EVs to make (for the safety of pedestrians etc)? They've already got cars playing engine / exhaust sounds through the speakers, but it'll never be the same and it just seems fake and silly. I'm not against the current hum / whirr of EVs, but it'll never be as good as a big, dirty V8 grumble.
  13. Ecu you on a pre 06 isn't big enough for the extra software But on the 06/07 Rev Up DE it would work then? Yeah I believe so as there is more storage on the ecu
  14. I hear conflicting stuff from buy-to-let and renting property in general. You see stories where landlords can't even recoup their costs from rent, but where I lived in an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation), the rent was around £500pm each (per bedroom with a shared living room / kitchen) with 5 people living there, so £2.5k a month total for a landlord minus bills and fees etc. To rent the same house (literally next door) with the same spec was only £750 per month for the whole house.

    Nope, they only noted down tread depth and disc thickness. As you can see from the vid, they didn't record any data from the rolling road, they just looked at the dials and said it looks fine. Halfords in Wakefield.

    I'm not particularly chuffed about it, but I'm pretty sure he was revving at his boss, and nothing would come from it unless I really kicked up a fuss. Besides, I'm sure it's probably been abused in much the same way for the past 10 years and a little rev isn't the end of the world. That being said, if it blows up this week I'll be writing some very strongly worded letters.
  17. Mine went down occasionally when i opened accounts, and it said this was one of the causes, but overall my score has gone up.
  18. Are these all savings accounts you can have without opening a current account? I thought having too many bank accounts was bad for your credit score? All current accounts bar the monthly savers (but those usually require you to open a corresponding current account). Having lots of accounts won't negatively impact your score, opening lots of current accounts will, but it's not drastic, and your score will go back up again.

    Didn't get to watch it until I got home unfortunately
