Re: insurance

That`s disgusting for 2 reasons, not only `cos they robbed you, but also because you have to declare when seeking insurance if you`ve `ever been declined or had cancelled`, so that could affect your rating with other insurers. I was thinking the same when I read Danny's comment. Do you think that L...

Re: Copper grease - Yay or nay

Will bear this all in mind when I eventually get time to do it! Is the car you were asking about actually in use? If the pads do need changing, I would put this job at the top of your priority list... Andrew. Yes but only once a week and the MOT man said the pads had a thousand miles left in them a...

Re: Copper grease - Yay or nay

Just remember guys that Copperslip is an anti-seize compound and not a lubricant. I always brush it on the edges of the pad backing plates where they contact the caliper or its mount to stop the pads rusting into the sliders. Thanks Paul, read somewhere that it was good for the piston as well... ??

Re: Copper grease - Yay or nay

You're not putting it on the friction material, are you? :lol: I've never really noticed a difference whether it's used or not, but some people swear that a smear on the contact areas of the back of the pad eliminates squealing. Andrew. I've coated the entire disc in a healthy quantity yes :D *For ...

I think Jason might be a bot. To catch him out, I asked him if he thought the Cologne was the best engine in the world. I think I fused his circuits.... :D
