Just been to the local MX 5 specilist, my disks and pads (front and rear) turned up yesterday so they are all getting fitted on monday

£250 for the parts and £90 for the fitting, just need to run out and get some good quality castrol dot 5 fluid so i do boil it on the ring

£90 for fitting :eek:

I didnt boil mine in the Zaffy and ST out there and I was hard on them

Yea its a cruel world, £30 and hour labour, two hours to do since its the fronts and backs, then fluid flush, brakes and clutch, i was going to do it myself but its raining this weekend and its basically the last chance i have!

Ah well it will be worth it but need to bed them in going out there though!

That's what the trip to the ring is for

Are we all going out @ the same time?

Not unless you are travelling down to Dover at an ungodly hour.

Our ferry is 8am, £27 each way baby!

Going to wait for us then? Go in Convoy, should make cracking videos?

Wait at the ferry terminal in France you mean? Could do I suppose!

TomO · 13 May 2006 at 17:20

our ferry is about 10am, but if we turned up earlier i am sure they wouldnt stop us getting on the earlier one. that way you wouldnt have to wait so long.

It will be worth the wait! The laughs I've had driving out there with Mr Powers almost comes close to the Ring its self!

do we turn off here or do we swerve back on to the autobahn - that is the question...

..every ******* exit!

How much earlier are you talking about? Alright for you, Andy and I have to get up early

Could give it a try I spose, although since we're on the cheap crossing they could ask for the difference to go on an earlier one. Wasn't that much difference though was it? £50 versus £35 or sommat like that.

I gave up on them last time when the satnav said one way and they went the other at the last second. Beat them both there though
