the dust caps are to replace the ones on the suspension,

what happens is these seize on to the ends, and are a bit of a bastard to get off, due to them only covering the top part of the valve, so with the new blue ones, the full valve threads are covered, which stops the water from getting in and seizing the cap on.

done the same in the engine bay, plus these are well easier to remove too.
that's the size differences,

also my new front brake callipers, this is the driver side, as this one was the one we were suspecting, was sticking. Which it is was as the piston was shot to shit, the passenger side didn't look that much better either.

so those were swopped over and brakes bled again. I think I will need to change the pads as one looks more worn than the other, which may explain the ABS feel I get when I brake at high speed, The car does stop no bother mind, but I want to make sure its really good!
so I am going to look out for another set of pads.
