Thought I'd check the MOT status on the truck, as it is due in March, ISTR? Oh yes. Feck me, next Thursday, March 4th, all day. Is MOT day. Don't panic!
Needs brakes, mainly? Front rotors N pads. Pads were okay, rotors were shagged though. So they got replaced with MTEC (grooved N drilled) rotors and new matching pads, nothing of which shown. They seem alright, and should last as long as any other brand 3/5 years? Total cost was £110 delivered to my door, which is astounding value for money. £55 per side. I will update once a few hundred miles been covered as still very much new and bedding in. https://www.mtecbrakes.com/
TDV8 Brembo brakes really were a MUCH needed UPGRADE to those Lucas
fitted to the TD6, which can only be described at best as just about, adequate with good planning and early deployment.
Brembo caught me out in the tool dept. Didn't have a drift in stock, man enough, to drift out the brake pad securing pins. Screwfix did though. £8 for a set. So the old truck now stops almost as well as it goes which is kinda handy.
Rear shocks replacement are next on the list.... Thanks to my forward thinking, I have a set of those in stock too, which is frightfully handy. Almost like I'd planned it.
