Looking good. Good luck with the rear end :) :? (I might re-phrase that later).

:lol: Cheers guys. The hard work is starting to pay off. I ran the engine again yesterday and investigated the erratic idle. Traced it to a stuck FITV so removed it and stripped it down. Now it's been cleaned out and refitted she's idling perfectly 8-)

More business travel over the next few weeks but I'll try and get some bits and pieces done as and when I get a chance :)

The postman brought me some second hand rear calipers today so I've had a bit of fun this afternoon/evening...

Slight problems when stripping them down - a leaking piston seal and a hole through one of the carrier castings into the carrier pin cavity mean I'm going to have to rebuild them so I've got pistons and seals on order and will have to clean up and reuse one of my current carriers when I've got them off the car but hopefully next week sometime they'll be done 8-)

The hole in the carrier... I recommend checking this area if you're having regular sticking problems as the hole was completely covered before I cleaned the rust off...

:shock: :?

That's all for now :lol:

great idea to check that on the rear brakes I bet a lot of sticky brakes will be down to this
