Up to Solihull and then Wolverhampton next week so that'll give it a slightly more thorough test!!!

Again, thank you as always for all your advice

HI Charles.
Sounds like they did the job for correctly just give the discs a feel now and then to see if they are the same, warm but not hot enough to burn your fingers, i will bring Manifold with me to the Nano

They're not a hard job at all. I changed mine during lockdown after clamping the brake pipe each time so minimal bleeding was all that was needed. You can also remove the discs to bust the glaze on the handbrake pads & adjust them up if needed.
