Cheers for the tip rustic I'll remember that for next time and give it a try! Good to see you Jim, it was a little un planed! Seen as I'm changing the wheel cylinders thought I may a swell but the lower ratio diff in whilst it was stripped! Gave Rik a quick phone call to just check how to...

Just till they cleaned up, the truck will never do much more than a 1000 mile a year so with the new shoes going in it should last a fair while! Elty that was my very same reason, bitch to get them on and off with that lip!! Especially when your stripping and cleaning them quite often, after...

Pictures as you go along Pete! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The adjusters were free as I'd stripped and freed them off about 6 months ago. The size of these brakes in comparison to the earlier ones is huge! The drums had taken a bit of a beating so I skimmed the out on the lathe. Like new now!!

Well after saving a terrano and getting it back on the road as a run about, today I had a look at the rear brakes on the beast and found this!! Drivers side wheel cylinder is a gonna and some serious wear has occurred! Passenger side is pretty much the same!! So it's new cylinders and shoes...

Star man, I'll PM you and arrange to drop you the cash off to give to Rik. Thanks for your kind offer.

Just like that mate yeah, the truck had only been run on diesel as well so it's not like the veg or bio had attacked it!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have never replaced the spring clips but thanks for the link I'll get a pack for next time. They were all really brittle and just crumbled!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha I know they are a pain! It was the one of number one injector back to the pump!! Did them all though whilst I was there [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks well that Elty, I've taken Rik up on the two good wings he's got just need to work out a collection method. The truck passed its re test today and leaked diesel all over on the way back!! So it got a new set of leak off pipes this afternoon! And a good wash! Sent from my iPhone using...

If only I had the space to store it!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good way to waste time and money! I would not like all that weight on just a shocker!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha need to buy some!! It's not actually gone through above the plastic trim yet so I'm ok for now!! I need to manufacture some wings!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's the same on all modern motors now, one code could be a few things!! We have a zaffira 150 cdti and that throws codes at you for fun!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought about fibre glass but was not sure how I would get the lip around the wing, as a lot of it is missing! Also thought about welding it but for now I've just put it back as its in for the re test in the morning!! Fingers crossed it should now pass but need to look at doing something more...
