The new school are taught that brakes are cheaper than gearboxes.



I’m suppose its the difference between learning to drive in a vehicle that has propper brakes and learning to drive in an old school motor, I was always taught the importance of engine braking, gear choice for hills/corners as my brakes were only to stop me (not slowing down) or in an emergency. I can confess to using them more than that but I do enjoy seeing how far I can travel reading the traffic and thus not having to use my brakes.


Spot on Mash Thumbs Up that was the way i was taught and i do exactly the same as you not trying to use the brakes Wink Very Happy Clayton.

Congratulations!! Nice pair Thumbs Up Mr. Green

I picked up another Defender today, as GINJEZ likes to keep his fleet very clean, I do like to tease him every now and again..

So as this thing has probably not been cleaned for many years, I took a snap of the visor and sent it to him...

His suggestion worked a treat... I might just leave it like this Mr. Green Mr. Green

On our rebuild I scrubbed the sun visors with neat bleach.

They went from like that ^^^^ to like brand new in 15 seconds.

Pull twisted the hinge brackets out and sprayed them black.

They look great, already to be put back in as and when. 2007 90 Puma - Love it - Best car I have ever owned.

1989 Ninety 200tdi - Love it - Second best car I have ever owned.

Saturday morning. Picked up a D1 and scrapped a mondeo.

Then set off to the lakes for a nights camping and a few lanes.

Clutch started to slip on the way home which was inevitable given the towing it does so new one needed.

Detailing Sunday
Wanted to remove the bramble and swirl mark scratches so used some of my chemical guys V32 and V38 and the results were impressive.

Saturday took the kids for some light green laning around Bromsgrove/Evesham following a route from Total Off Road magazine from a couple of years back
