brakes are similar to Z3 which is £400 most of that being discs. Which considering my Calibras where £289 discs only they are reasnable at least


why does all this shit happen when you have no money at all?!


on the adjuster,why not use PTFE tape.....

and shop around for the discs.

Kill me.

Fuck that. Drive with no MOT.

If you get caught it could only be a £60 and 3 points. Well worth the risk IMO.
