Oh diesel_jim, I cant lie, but i didn't want to admit it either, but here goes;
We fitted the brake calipers on the front upside down, so obvious now we know, but it took us ages to establish our mistake. Somebody on here told me, in life the nipples are always at the top 😂😂😂 2007 90 Puma - Love it - Best car I have ever owned. 1989 Ninety 200tdi - Love it - Second best car I have ever owned. 1951 80" Series 1 - Love it - Third best car I have ever owned. |

Thanks BS - but it was not hard.
It's a long job - I'll give you that, and I think it helps if there are two of you, because you are letting the other one down if you don't commit and turn up as agreed - therefore things mostly get done as planned and when planned. I have learnt a hell of a lot - I mean who the hell knows about "End Float" not me before this. Good luck to all the others out there, if I can be of any help, probably not, but if - just PM me. I will continue to update this thread with what now goes wrong, but I would just like to thank everyone on here who helped with my many questions along the way. See you out on the road boys.
