What a day...

In for its MOT today, knew the rear pads were really low so opted to have replaced along with an oil service/inspection... Phone call later in the morning to say one of the rear calipers has seized... So a bit more labour... Total a £300 bill...

I also asked them to log the car to check fueling, boost and timing... Happy to report, hitting all specified figures and zero timing pull across the board... Reckon I could up the settings a little till the warmer months come back...

All in all, bit of a shocker, but glad she's all ready for another years motoring... And all my suspension mods! ;-)

Insurance looming in March...

I take it they were direct fit ? I think I read the tt were stiffer aswell but in reality were not, let us know how they are once fitted or once you've compared to the oem mounts.

Is the bearing bigger on these ( outer )
