Is it Mike Dundee's ?. I am planning to come over for Sat/Sun. If you want, give me details and I can go to Autovaux or agents or what ever.

Dundee's brakes all sorted now.  The mess that the brake fluid made down the side of the car, that will take more work  :'(

Yeah all sorted now, thanks to TB, MarkDTM, and all the other folk that lent a hand, including Rob for bringing the calipers up on Saturday morning.

We had to bin the pads from Rob's calipers, after he left I took it for a test drive and came back and the rear brake was smoking badly, thankfully managed to get a set of pads in York, so off they came again and done both rear brake pads, and Mark was able to sort the existing caliper, and the main problem was I have the wrong discs on the rear, i.e. not vented, I'll be checking my receipts shortly >:(

Took 3 hours to hit London then another hour getting through London, am also very impressed with the fuel consumption, which has improved considerably, left with half a tank of fuel, done almost 220 miles and range is showing 68 mile range left :y
