Where did you get the badges made up Darran? I'm after a custom badge being made for mine.
Was there a minimum order? Can you show me some close up pictures please.

Steve, I got the badges done by Darren Harding @ Locking Vinyl.

http://www.locking-vinyl.co.uk/

Or look up the above on FB. Some nice examples of his work on the Locking Vinyl page.

I think they were something like £15 for the pair, based on a one off job.

Close up, pre-fitting below. If you need any more pics, let me know.

Well Wes, I really don't have a comeback for that! The thought of you and your wife, checking out my rear end!

Just put new handbrake shoes on. Passenger side shoes were loose due rotting back plate. Used some new pins and springs to secure the new ones.

Bad news is handbrake still not great Think compensator is on the cards
When I apply the handbrake there is a small amount of movement on the car before it grips

Since the weather was so bad today and I was left twiddling my thumbs. I decided to service the FBH, donated from the other car.

I had removed the diesel pump last week, all in one piece, surprisingly, it was also still working too!



After a wire brush and a good coating of Hammerite (Unfortunately only black in the shed).







Water pump, tested and cleaned, sorry no pics!

Then the heater itself. After a bit of a clean....





Then Re-assembled...



Off to Maplin tomorrow, to pick up some 4.7K & 47K resistors, to repair the circuit board!

Fingers crossed!

What a lovely POSH paint job



You could have knocked the rust scabs off properly, now all you have a nice little corrosion cell beavering away under the paint

Put the personal plate on the Tourer to match the ZT.

Surprisingly a hassle free and instant process online with the dvla. I was expecting a delay but no, the last page tells you to put the new plates on, not to worry about the tax and mot as this will be changed automatically but I was to notify my insurance which cost £15 to alter the reg on the policy. Job done!
