New rear OE discs and pads went on this morning, first time I've done it and was pretty straightforward (watched a lot of youtube beforehand)

The caliper did move a little more than I expected before the piston was re-compressed and the spring clip re-attached, but it was the same both side and I assume it's normal. Seems to stop fine.

Snowfoam wash this afternoon and a CSLR sticker going on tomorrow, looks like drivers side rear window is the spot to go for.

Mine was all ready barr my tracking.that was until a run round welyn and hertfordshire.I lost my wing grille.black one.so if new ones I just paid £40 don't turn up then I guess the Chrome will be fitted before we leave.

New windscreen after following shim on a wide line at Donny and brake fluid change after a red flag at Donny with no cool down.

Gave her a quick wash today, filled up with fuel, loaded the boot full of PRIZES

.......no room for my extensive wardrobe

Got my walkie talkies charged (but I still bet we won't use them)

Next I'm going to get my paperwork ready, spare key, and then load up the sat Nav with the destinations.

One thing to remember guys....SPARE KEY
