willay - what size brakes are those up front? As I have the same wheels on my Astra (came with them obviously) and I wanna get a decent brake setup...

And did the calipers need any 'modifications' so that they didn't foul the wheels, or are they fine as-is?

They look quite big - 256mm aren't they?

If I were to get 16v discs/pads/calipers, would I need to get anything else for them to work? Like new servo & master cylinder?

I think my master cylinder is dying... I recently had new discs/pads up front and new drums/shoes at back but my brakes feel spongy and crap again... Makes for an interesting experience when braking in the wet...

Willay, as a fellow farmer I would like to know how you are going to get your car down the driveway?

Your rual driveway needs sorting so we can have a meet and picnic at Willay's farm

You could charge people if they wish to play with the ducks
