Melted the brakes.

*sigh*

Guess what I'll be doing if it stays slightly dry tomorrow

[05omegav6]

Replaced a brake light bulb. New front pads arrived today, so be fitting them on Monday regardless of the weather

Fixing the brakes and then melting them again.

I didn't realise you did track days. Nice one, fair play to you.

Its normally, in the past, a sign that the pads are as low as a low thing. Can't remember if it has any sensors on it.

Oh right, not related to your driving style then.

Of course not.  May I ask the honourable gentleman how many speed awareness courses he has been on in the past couple of years?  Obviously, I am the model citizen, having been on none.

Let's be fair, even you would have to admit that's more to do with luck than judgement.

What have I done today, sadly my beloved 2.5V6 has blown a HG and yes I have regularly done oil and coolant changes so f****d off just before grimbo and all. HGs GM of course but can I save money on the exhaust gaskets valve seals and head bolts??

Serviced the 3.2 Elite saloon, Oil, air and pollen filters. 2,240 miles since last December's oil change, I should drive it more.

I used this gasket kit with Elring HG's when I did mine last year and 12000 miles on she's still going strong! 

Some say that the composite exhaust manifold gaskets supplied with these kits are crap and to use genuine GM metal gaskets.  I used the composite gaskets and have had no issues so far but I might yet regret using them.       

Don't forget you'll need new head bolts and I got mine from CarParts4Less who were the cheapest at the time and they were Elring  as well.  The gasket kit supplier supplies head bolts as well, not sure what they're like though. 

Good Luck!

I was simply pointing out the facts, Mr YZ

Last time I Mr DTM did mine, HGs were supplied by ebay shop Trechii, he recommened some cheap head bolts, IIRC the only genuine parts were exhaust gasket (use later MLS type from 2.6 or 3.2), the manifold to downpipe gasket, and obviously the cam cover gaskets and o rings.

Put new pads on the Bullet, and took it for a spin to bed them in
