Very nice, good to see you put it up instead of selling up.

So got it MOT'd at last.
Had it booked for Thursday week ago, and had planned to take it into work, and nip out for test. Got 2 miles down the road, and thought the brakes were binding, stopped and got out to look, drivers disc was glowing red! So turned and headed back home. (Live 50 miles from work so wasn't for chancing it). Presumed the flexi was bad after sitting, so ordered a new one and fitted it last weekend. Made no difference, so pulled caliper off and all seemed free, so built back up and still sticking.

Was starting to think the ABS module was playing up after sitting for so long. Ordered another new caliper from motor factors with little hope that it would work.

Fitted new caliper, and all worked fine! When comparing calipers the first replacement was ever so slightly smaller, and stamped 260mm diameter, but the same type of caliper. Difference was only noticeable when sat side by side! Replaced disc and pads again on drivers wheel as they had got the heating, and left ready for test.

Took it into work on Wednesday and got a cancellation, and passed with flying colours!

Now to start clutch replacement tomorrow!

Great news on the mot, car comes up well seeing that it's been parked up for 4 years. I take it you stored it in a garage?
