Well I've just got a quote for £509 on a 4.6L V8 Range Rover with Tesco, and only £372 on a 3.9L V8 Disco so they're sounding more plausable now! Gonna be keeping my eyes out for one that takes my fancy.

Evening chaps. I'm in the market for a 4x4, so would like some suggestions & help with insurance. Will be using it as a daily driver, as well as having some fun round the local greenlaning spots every now and again, so space & comfort are an issue. Been looking at things like Range Rovers, Jeep Cherokees etc. Whatever it is, it'll need to be LPG and do 25mpg at least, & under £2k. My current insurers wont cover me for anything over 115bhp, so if it's under that (unlikely I'm sure!) then great, but if not I'll need to sort out some cheap insurance for it (I'm 20, it'll be under my mum's name at 9years no claims). Advice please!

Actually shamfering the end edges can help considerably in reducing pad wobble, noise, and consequently uneven pad wear. Excuse the dodgey photoshopping:

What frame/booster combo are you running? If you've not got a booster on at the moment, then definitely fit one - not only will it reduce the noise, but also vastly improve the hold too (depending on how stiff your frame is of course). Other than that, let the pads and grind (if you've one) wear down - pads with less meat on them will be quieter, as will generally brakes with more worn grinds.

Pull the piston out and clean it properly with something very lightly abrasive. Grease it, and then put it back together. If you're going to make an emulsion of liquids like that, just make sure you use deionised water, or use some trials-specific brake fluid.

Yeah, as Matt said - pretty much spot on there. I'll be able to answer emails from time to time, but all orders received will be sent out at the beginning of August. See you guys soon. Mike.

My face is still itchy

Screw it I'm going

Who wants to make up my mind whether to go to Nass or do a comp in Blackpool?

Go for it! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wellgo-08-MG-1-MG1-B...93%3A1|294%3A50

Glad to hear more positive feedback from so many people using these pads. The Vee backings are now being tested, and will be released shortly for those interested! Mike.

Ola Me, Danny Brady, and Max-T (if he's around) are gonna hit up Porthcawl today (Tuesday), anyone else game? Mike.

That was sweet - not been a proper good roadtrip video in ages.

I've got my membership, and the form will be sent off this week. For other people who aren't members - can you get a day/weekend membership for this one? Definitely a cracking event, really awesome venue!

Woo, these do sound good - I love the hype about new pads! Lets see how these do in the long run. Nick, why do you have to use superglue in yours?

There's not one thing on there that hasn't left me wanting one.

Hey guys, I could do with replacing my BB7 front brake, and am after one of the pre 2008 ones (silver rather than dark grey). Does anyone know where they're still available? Preferably 185mm, and not over the odds! Cheers, Mike.

Absolutely gutted I'm not gonna be there this year. Definitely the most memorable event on the trials calender. I hope everyone enjoys the day, regardless of precipitation!

Yes Dan! Wicked dude, damn you're improving so much Quality looked awesome, top effort there. Grant, why didn't you figure that out months ago!

That doesnt give you the right to make a topic about it Matt! Sort it out

Big up SW9 That was wicked Joel, was awesome to see the final vid after all the clips you've shown me! Well chilled out vibe, & some beasty lines going down. Catch you again soon pal

Steve-o was the guy who went to A&E, he's got 8 stitches and is on the mend. Andy Walker is the guy who was doing some pretty big ups on the in red on the blue rockman. cool pictures, should get some of mine up sometime soon.

I'm looking forward to this, see you all there tomorrow!
