I am happy to nip up to Brightons as long as Mack is too.

I am afraid that I cannot be in Brightons before 7pm though....... let me know how this suits guys. Also depends on whether Mack can get my pads off Ed.....

Think a nice bottle of wine will be coming Mack's way for this....it seems a bit of a burden on him!


Also depends on whether you supply the biccies with the tea craig :wink:

Bob.
no probs Bob, tea and biccies and garage space available :D

I've pm'd you guys my address and a map and my mobile. Say anytime after 7?

cheers

Excellent, Thanks Craig.

All we need now is the Nod from Mac.

Thanks for the offer Clarkie, I say the more the merrier.... as long as Craig is cool with an invasion.

I/we still need to get the pads from Ed!

But I can do tonight and can take a trolley jack and tools, Craig can supply the internet link to SELOC Wiki page if required, :D I'll presume one of you will have a service manual to check torques etc (incase they are different from mine)

Biscuits I can do - as long as you're not looking for them to be homemade :shock:

See you later :D

I have some copperslip in the garage I think... I'll be in the house for the next hour (then I'm off to Armadale) and am not far from Mack if he wants to pick it up. Failing that, you can get a tube from halfords...
I have no signature.
