Are these fronts or rears? :shock:

My set of rears came in at about £180 for the EBCs which IIRC was about £30 more expensive than getting normal discs from SJs.

Fronts. 280mm AP Racing rotors only, to go on custom made bells, as originally fitted by Rod.

AP 295mm for the 16" kit are £380 a pair.

Insider info Neil says your tyres and discs were ***ked before you went to the Isle of Man. We just managed to finish them off for you. What a way to do it. You'll have the new ones bedded in just right.

As for being poor- all the money youre on- no wife, no kids, no worries- you must have shed loads of disposable income just to spend on your Elan. Not like us poor retired folk.

Compare the coolant temperature of yours and Neils runs and you'll see his is steady at ~85°C whereas yours is dropping (when you speed up and get more airflow through the rad) down to temperatures that the ECU thinks the engine is warming up. A good clue is the target idle which goes up as temperature goes down.

Have a nice day.

Big thanks to Smiffy for the diagnosis :smt023

Big thanks day today :-D

,

even bigger thanks next Sunday 11/11. :wink:
