Right, So I've changed the calipers and hoses and now have a little problem...The brakes won't release after being applied! I've bled the front two brakes. Do I need to do the backs as well? I'm pretty sure that there's not air in the system, as the pedal feels firm.... I've not run up the engine ye...

Well, I have the calipers and disks on now... But one side is sticking again! Grrrr! It requires a little bit more debugging, but stay tuned folks!

Depending on how long you want to take....You could do it BY BIKE!

A couple of my mates have just set of to Kathmandu under pedal power...It's going to take them 8 months though they reckon!

Think it took them about 3 months of planning at least!

Adam took me for a spin in it, and it's chuffing awesome! (sorry, got trains on the brain still).

Awesome meet!

Nice one everyone, sorry i had to shoot off from the pub early, I'd had about 4 hours sleep and a shedload of Uni work to complete!

Hi Dan,

the plan with my 1.4 is to get the Renault engine in in the next few months. Which means that my (35k) 1.4 engine will very likely be surplus to requirements. How urgently do you need the bits?

Cool, I'll do something like that then maybe. Couldn't do me a favour and take a pic of your leaf setup? I just wanna see what you mean about the bolts. Afraid I can't get a photo, as I've not been near the 300 in about 3 months! But I've drawn you a picture, which should make the situation clearer...

Hi mate, You could run what I'm running, just without the lowering blocks at the back. Double leaf springs, KYB 'Gas-A-Just' shock on rear. Stiffer springs on front, and more viscous oil in the dampers. My front's not gone down at all with the springs I'm using either. They're 200lb/in springs from ...

Don't worry, I'm one too!

If anyone wants a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea in York before the meet, let me know, you're welcome at my house, from about 9am. Drop me a PM if interested.

Bloody Students!

Well I'll be on foot/bike anyway.

Parking in York is expensive.... I know of a few places about 20 mins walk away which might be free to park on a sunday...But aren't great as a meet up point. If people are opposed to paying £7 just to park their cars, let me know and I'll suggest other parking places. I.E there's big free car parks...

Very nice.

Had my eye on a newer manta which parks up around my Uni lately. That's nice, but this is a whole league above

Yes. And the direction of the bolts is across the car, rather than front to back. I actually snapped the bolts they were rested so much last time i removed a bumper!

You will realise your target, I'm sure!

C'est la vie!

I'm working out how I can afford this and where to store it. Seriously.
Might have to sell the 850.....

Anyone looking for a Volvo 850?
