Well as you all know she past the mot eventually with flying colours but before she went through i done a little work on her which included new discs, pads, cables and the braided lines from the diesel
i also changed the exhaust midsection and replaced all the gaskets as she sounded like i had badly welded a jap can on the rear
i've been a little bit of a tart as normal when it comes to discs haha
and here are some pictures of my labour
plenty of life left in these right?
think it had a dodgy mot before i got it

the handbrake cables was less useful than a red light at 3 am

two on the right are crushed and broken, The grey one was supposedly new when i bought it still had the manufactures label on it and it had smashed the plastic apart so it wasn't operational at all!

Finally just a shot of the midsection, which again was "new" when i bought the car. The part number comes back as a Klarius if you want a new exhaust avoid this at all costs its rubbish. Cheap thin metal that echos and is noisy as buggery

I went for a Walker system in the end and its lovely and quite and the metal is alot more substantial its thicker and the cat sits inside of it properly nice a firm
No pictures of the fuel or air filter change i think we have all seen that too many times
All in all a good days work
