June 10, 201510 yr I had to heat up the unit in order to pull the lens off and then used some.super fine headlight restoration polish I had laying around and a drill set to slowish. Previously the surrounds had been painted and I can only assume gravel was used to remove over spray!!!!

June 12, 201510 yr Had a lovely drive back from lincolnshire into the peak district. Lovely country roads! Going to see martin tomorrow morning so theres another drive out :)
June 12, 201510 yr Author Been out for a brake bedding in drive today nothing silly just steady 40miles noticed one side is getting warmer than the other But no signs of binding or bad smells etc. Any ideas?

June 12, 201510 yr Finally pick it back up after full engine rebuild :-D Now to drive like my Gran for 1000 miles to run back in.Did the garage who sold it cover any cost? I just had an oil service done.
June 12, 201510 yr Did the garage who sold it cover any cost? I just had an oil service done. Yer basically paid for everything, they put a new short block in along with new pistons, rods, water pump belts and so on. I paid for a new clutch and fly wheel to go in at same time and spark plugs. So cost me about £700 plus some recovery costs. So over all I am happy. Could have been a lot worse. -- I make Films and Website for people
June 12, 201510 yr Not a bad result. Good shout doing the clutch at same time. Yer went for a pink box and lighter flywheel so am ready for more power now :-D -- I make Films and Website for people
June 13, 201510 yr Author Either get them reconditioned or buy a recon set, just more !Removed! expense haha. It's only getting marginally hotter as I can still touch both sides after a drive but just more of a ball ache Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
June 13, 201510 yr Author Godspeed contacted, if no one comes forward with a cheap set of calipers then they are off for a recon on weds Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
June 13, 201510 yr Shame my "raised logo" 4 pots won't fit behind your wheels stants ,could have been a good excuse for a upgrade [emoji5] Good luck with the mot p.Davey after putting it back together [emoji106] I'd prepped a v3 ally header tank a while back ,it turned out to be a right ball ache to fit [emoji57] cos I had to make a ally bracket and fit some new hoses to make it work but it looks better than the old plastic one
