Re: Uprated front disc brakes 304mm?

Rob..do you think greenstuff on the rear std.discs is a bit overkill or ok,maybe just go for pagids on rear? It's only that I can get a good price from carparts4less at the mo! ;)

Just a quick question to ask who/where is currently the best supplier of updated front discs for my TF to go under the AP calipers so are 304mm!
Looking for the style that doesn't rust, also pads to suite aswell will be needed. Any suggestions or links would be appreciated..cheers all :thumbsu:

2 x 304 Pagid discs + 1 x Pagid pads = ~ £94. You can check for yourself on Halfords w/s...
That's a good price..how are they on the corrosion aspect the normal discs go rusty quite easily around the centre?

Re: Updated front disc brakes 304mm?

Dunno about uprated but I've found that Pagid 304mm front (AP-type) brake discs have been good v-f-m from Halfords. I'm running a pair c/w Pagid brake pads on my '10 TF. They seem to work well enough for me and imo feel 'beefier' than the smaller discs of my previous '05 TF Been looking on the bay ...

Re: soft top window

Try a renovo window polish 1st if your windows not too badly clouded. Bit of elbow grease and some of this product worked for me initially many years ago but ended replacing the hood with a glass window eventually! It's about £15-20 which is more than enough for the window you can get other similar ...

Hi all hope your all keeping safe...just browsing around and ended up looking at RPS modsfor the TF. There seems to be a lot about it being tested and sampled but that started a few years ago now so was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the subject, is it still a possibility or was it scrap...

Re: DVSA MOT Announcement.

Mines not due untill the end of July, that's not a problem but my question is when the extension is ended the problem will be getting a slot at the MOT station due to the huge backlog,and I assume they will give us ample time to arrange and get tested as most cars will be on an "out of date" MOT?

What now for MG Live 2020?

Just heard from Motorsport UK that all permits for any form of motor racing are withdrawn untill June 30th. This obviously covers the weekend of MG Live at Silverstone so without any track action I would of thought it looks highly unlikely that it will go ahead!! Sad but true...it then gets perilous...

I love quick fixes..... Engine cover off, HT lead off at the cap. Popped back on, and all is well with the world again.

Glad it's a quickie...not quite loose plug but after your recent changes it was likely to be something loose or off :thumbsu:

Re: Rough running - help please !

Just a thought...have you checked all the plugs are seated correctly nice and tight? If one isnt in properly that will create rough running!!
