I had quite a few giggles when I read through the Hanyes spoof! Sometimes the instructions really are unachievable... But the manuals do make DIY stuff an awful lot easier.
So yesterday was a wash out, I got called in for emergency shift cover, thankfully just half a day (8am-2pm) but still, that was supposed to be my rest day after working Wednesday night (8pm-8am) and so I have done very little today in preperation for a 12hr shift tomorrow...
One thing I did do was a bit of shoppin this morning - Eurocarparts have a sale on which suits me just fine! Rear flexi's, rear pads, new slider pins, etch primer and stonechip paint purchased. I've also bought a wire wheel drill bit set and a spring tool for the handbrake shoes. I can collect the ECP lot on Tuesday and the others should arrive in the post soon, so Wednesday I plan to de-rust and paint the brake shields, then put the rear brakes back together with new pads and flexi's. Whilst the calipers are off i'll give them a quick brush over too, I thought about painting them - but I have more than enough other jobs to be getting on with! Saves me £20 too. Correct me if it is advisable to paint them though
