well my mechanic chums worked their wonders again and as i arrived within the last half hour of business this evening, i was told to step aside with my slow motion skills and let the pros do the job...the new caliper was on in no time . .

..just look at the speed of those mitts!!





cheers chaps . .

nope, just what my mechanic chum ordered for the car. i got those fitted to the quattro last year - i believe that they were standard equipment on the quattro.



that's good of you getting goldie some treats, eddie - not that your car needs to go any faster, but we can all use a little extra braking power!!

Cheers, I'm looking at budgeting for new dampers on my 90 and was wondering if there was a preferred make

Just collected Gene from the garage and yet again, another step in the original driving experience direction!

no klunks any longer and takes those ayrshire roads like it was made for them . .
