Removed the power steering pump from the TD, not the easiest job.

Fitted the new power steering pump. An awkward little beggar to replace. Fortunately, as we had diagnosed, the old one was faulty, and this has cured it, as far as I can tell, as its still on stands for other work. I'll try to do a how to shortly, although I may be the only TD owner left on here.

Drove the BMW Bracknell->Peterborough, then Peterborough->Welwyn->Alexandra Palace->Bracknell, then Bracknell->Padstow->Bracknell, over the course of a week or so.

Now need to change the front suspension bushes as the toe control is a bit off on one side (much like an Omega)

Polished my headlights yesterday on the Silver Bullet.  I didn't really feel like doing it, but Webby the Bear made me.

Still, done now, came up OK

Converting my solid calipers to vented went well... right up to the point the bastid wept under pressure... sheared a bolt trying to nip it up the secure the seal

Will be investing in new calipers as a result...

Still nothing ventured nothing gained, but mystified as to why it wouldn't seal... no dirt anywhere, seals viable too

On the plus side, handbrake works a treat now

Plan b regarding rear calipers... turns out they're made from really expensive unobtainium... bit miffed actually as AGP claimed to have them in stock Waiting to hear back from Jason regarding alternatives...

Might well end up with Monaro rear calipers... '05 on CV8s run 286x18 vented discs

Put six litres of freshly delivered oil into the black one... sump appears to be oil tight

Acquired a pair of (hopefully) suitable rear calipers and some pads to go with them... will find out on Sunday if it's successful or not and report accordingly

Had a performance stainless system fitted sounds ruddy lovely too, especially on full chat with the 'box in S



Also took delivery of the 19" Snowflakes too .....  Not bad for what I paid for them, especially with all 4 tyres being practically brand new too

Said goodbye to the slight tramlining caused by only 1.8mm tread remaining, by having new Goodyear F1 assymetrics fitted.

What a difference,  Yippee!
