Dirty Gertie:
Yesterday, I went to change the pads in my front brakes. Jack under radius arm, wheel off, couple of lb of mud and assorted vegetation removed from around brake assembly :oops:
Cleaned up pistons, pins etc,  removed pads.
Put in new pads - D'OH!!! Guess whose double vented discs ain't standard 90 brakes?
Guess who couldn't lay hands on a set of 110 pads?
Guess who'd contaminated the old pads?
Guess who had to put the old contaminated pads back in.
Guess who had a 90 which pulled to the left when braking, worse the the Dnepr combo I was riding the other day?

guess who went and bought a can of brake cleaner today!! :D

Ho hum, 110 pads will be fitted as soon as I get 'em!

Vam:
But it's a landrover!

Do you really expect it to be that straight forward?  :wink:

What makes it fun and keeps it interesting
