ok many thanks will remember less is best but hopefully i will not have to drill out disc crews again with the use of copaslip.

I did put some copaslip on my new brake disc retaining screw threads so it will be easier to remove next time as they where problematic last time i wanted to remove them.

ok thats good to hear i was worried somebody might be putting on the braking surface when they said on the face of the brake disc.

They but copaslip on there brake discs wow thats insane you are right it is a very very bad idea to put any thing at all on your brake discs especially grease it sounds like they are trying to kill themselves as this would have a very serious effect on there braking performance.

Fitted a new fuel tank cradle as old one had rotted out so purchased one from ebay for£165 as dealer wanted £300 seems very good quality. painted my rear drums black and also fitted some uprated headlight bulbs and side light bulbs.

I also wanted to change my caliper bolts when changing my discs and pads and new pads didn't come with bolts and i cant justify paying £12 per bolt for my 2001 freelander when the other bolts are 50p each. And Alkaja stated that he used the stc1914 bolts which are 50p each on ebay on a 2004...

Many thanks for advice on removal now removed i can see this is totaly rotted and a uneconomical repair is a lot more involved than paint repair i did try rubbing down and just big bits of rotted steel fall out so i will be on the look out for a replacement tail gate rot free in 696 paint code.
