Reading.... And Slough (Slouding) area makes Banbury look like Toffville. Sorry, just does.

I thought something similar as I drove down from the M4 via Winkfield et al; how can such nice looking villagey type places be right next to Bracknell. Oh to have the cash to live in the nice little villagey bits!

New rear vented discs and oe pads all round ordered from Andyc. Should be here next week. Ebc green stuff, tried, tested, soon to be binned. Shite!

Still waiting on my rear pads from Andy he was having some delays getting them in.. and I'm sure I posted at the time not to bother with anything less than Yellowstuff

You did, although these where... well, not free. But they where sitting on another car doing nothing, along with the dimpled groved discs. So on they went.

So, what were the issues with them, out of interest? Heavy car for green stuff, IMHO.

Dead and unresponsive from cold. Lacking bite when warm, not great when hot, fade far too easily with a horrible buzz/grumble when giving it some. Can't get anywhere near tc pads performance before the pedal starts to sink to the floor after remarkably little abuse.
 You might think change the fluid, but non of these traits where present with tc pads just days before, apart from the usual.... Fairly hopeless tbh.

Hi all...after getting my omega back yesterday with head gasket replaced......i now had to go out today and buy a new battery...more money..but she is worth it   

[pscocoa]

Working out if I can get a Camon Scarifier into the back of it - looks doubtful though.

[pscocoa]

forget that actually - non starter - it will have to be Signum

[Kevin Wood]

Changed a rear central locking motor that has been niggling for about a year on and off. What a PITA!

Absolutely 

[omega3000]

Sitting in traffic watching the temp needle like a hawk ....all is well 

Drove it till it ran out of petrol , but the 20 miles was worth every smile per mile 

[doz]

Cleaned two lots of sick out the back of the Alhambra  Had to get the wet and dry vacuum out to get rid of the smell. Not impressed

[omega3000]

Driving driving driving  it dont get better than this with the temp gauge behaving as it should , going to need more tyres at this rate . SWMBO is happy now as i dont have greasy hands to maul her with
