Hi all, quite a few shots to share so I hope they don't bore you to death. Anyway, finally got around to buying the Run-Stop rotors to replace the crappy Chinese TRW fronts I bought last year and the rears which were, I think, on from new.
There's good reports about Run-Stops so at least they're genuine and not counterfeits so here's the process.
Here they are - suppose I fell for the handsome look.
The rear rotors were (adopts John Cleese voice) 'waffer thin...'
Okay, it was the look that sold it for me.
Oooh, look at the muck in 'ere...
Gratuitous shot. Looks lovely doesn't she?
Shiny new fronts back to back with Chinese counterfeits that I'd been sold.
Look great but pain-in-the-arse me requested that little something extra at the last minute.
I wanted the 'rim' thing painted as I hate the rust that forms there. 'Paging Dr Freud...'
And continuing my anally retentive attention to detail I asked them to clean inside the wheels.
In for a penny eh? May as well get the calipers done.
I think they look much better now.
The overspray has burnt off now so they look really sexy under the wheels.
Got everything aligned after the rotors were fitted and must admit the steering feels loads better. As
@vanzep pointed out a while ago, it was a problem. Also, as
@bennyboy mentioned, my tyres were low so now the front feels great.
The brakes are lovely and it really has made a difference.
However, two new problems that Jason found need attention.
First, this oil leak (this shot is looking up toward the engine). Nothing major but needs attention.
And this hole that appeared in the exhaust (which may be causing the warning light issue).
Blue Beauty is going back to Jason next week to sort out the oil leak and also get that hole welded. Other than that, I'm really chuffed with new update to my car. Hope you enjoy the photos gents. All the best to you all and hope all is well in Blighty. Simon.
good to see you got the parts home in one piece
