Getting throught the jobs this week.
Front discs and pads fitted. Whilst the car was up on axle stands decided to investigate front pu grilles. Wasnt going to pay for the £180 porsche ones. Instead, took a trip to ....you know who....and bought some aluminium mesh. Will forward pictures later. Took me a fair while to mark out, cut and fit but its really looking good. All fixed with £2.49 clear silicone sealer.
Put car now up on rear axles to look into replacing discs and pads. Upon taking the discs off I noticed the handbrake retaining springs x2 were broke.
You may not believe this but;
1. If you replace the rear handbrake shoes...full kit is around £29, this however wont include the springs that I need.
2. To purchase these 2 little springs porsche want £39.60 not including delivery.
How on earth does this make sense!!!!
I dont think I have any choice and will now have to drive 30 mile round trip and pay the ridiculous price if I want to finish the job tomorrow.
Oh well, moan over ARRRRGGGGGHHHH!
