Re: Copper grease - Yay or nay

Hey Danny, I use this (Eagle Shit, we always called it this as kids, for some reason) all the time on the back of the brakes etc. But I also put a smear on the mating face of the Alloy wheel, where it joins the hub. Just in case I don't do any brake maint for a year or so. You must have seen people ...

Re: 26th August - Ace Cafe Capri Day 2023

I'm happy to meet up at South Mimms in the morning, if any one wants to convoy in again. I'll park down the far end as usual.
I'll check this thread in the morning to see if there are any takers. I would be aiming to set off from South Mimms at 10:30hrs. If not, I'll see you all there, cheers....

Re: A few questions for the floor.

Hi Mark, I know it's not really what you asked. But the best mod I did to mine was the front Strut support across the engine. We have speed humps all round here, a LOT of them and the weight of the V6 it always felt wallowy (not sure if that's even a word) at the front when going over these. As soon...

Re: refurb steering rack bad experience

Hi Mark, Sorry, a bit late to the party on this one.... I had exactly the same problem with a Power steering rack from them, never returned to straight ahead as soon as it was fitted.
