Both me and the sewing machine repair man checked the pedal out, it isn't that. Originally he agreed that it might be a capacitor in there. He has had it a few weeks and when I talked to him he told me he had spent two days trying to find out the problem. But he didn't go for the thing I think...

Morning dull but dry here. Had to deliver W to dottirs as they are going "shopping" in Pompey today. I also had to show dottir how to work W's wheelchair, so she can fold it up etc. Got back to find the noo calliper and the rebuild kit had been delivered. Just need to buy some noo Dot 4...

At that price he'd snap his hand off and drive off like a rat up a drain pipe in the PMobile!!! 🤣🤣🤣

What a sad bunch of thickos. I guess if they were any use they'd be like other good trades, self-employed, working their socks off and booked up for weeks, like it is round here. :(

Well I meant both of you as I know you do throw things in the general direction of the barbie. Still, at least like that when stuff gets burnt on to the induction hob rings, you can't be blamed. That is why I developed all the protection gear we have. Got sick of being told off! I cook more...

Can't do it in a Freelander nor even a normal Tratter unless you has special diff locks.

Retired postman on holiday then! Wonder if he also wears Union Jack trunks. If that is a car park near Loch Lomond I expect it weren't too busy. Except maybe for a car meet! I was going to try and see if I could work out which car park it was so went to to Trossachs website, soo many, far too...

I must awa to mee pit cos I has drunked too much white vino. See yez!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

I dunno. We only have an ornery 4 burner induction hob over here. Maybe you'll need to get a couple and over lap them. Do you often use more than 4 burners at the same time? Depends on what sort of cooking you do, we don't even use 4 at the same time often.

Oops, can't park between the lines then.

Just looked in the handbook and mine is behaving as it should.

Just tested it. I unlocked it with the key. No noise at all. Then I opened the door and it went off. Maybe I was unclear.

????? I think mine does sound if I only use the key to open it. I'll test it tomorrow.

And another weird thing... When I rang up to order the part, blokey asked me for my reg. From that he told me that the caliper they had on their books for an early Disco 2 did not match the part apparently on mine according to the VIN number. Even though mine is a 2000 which is very much an...

Got the caliper off and into the garage where my big vice can hold the whole thing. After a bit of a fiddle-about, the pistons came out. They are the cleanest brake pistons I have ever taken out! :rolleyes: Has to be said that I haven't stripped calipers down since about 1994. No scratches, no...

Got the tyres on, they charged £10 odd each plus vat for the balance, cheeky flippers!! Checked against the two Disco ones I got last week, no charge! I appreciate it is a little trickier, but even so. :mad:

I just checked with LR Parts, apparently they used to do the stainless steel pistons, but they stopped doing them and blokey said they weren't very good! which doesn't seem to be your experience! At the end of the day, Dot 4 is very corrosive so it'd eat stainless in the end just like it eats...

Good idea! Din't know you could get them. ;)

Off out soon to Blandford to get two new tyres on W's car. I have taken the precaution of removing all wheel nut embellishers and swapping the two locking one for ornery ones, They lost the locking nut key last time, as well as the embellishers off at least one wheel. At least they proved last...

Whoops! Only just noticed this, but still nice to see someone who is from our corner of France.
