Will do. Think I’m going to do the cylinder whilst I’m at it. Need to order the drums too.

The vans off the road for now whilst I get some jobs done then put it in for an MOT to see just how much welding I need to do…

You’ll have to let us know what there like, I have the standard ones that are bloody good but looked at the thunderweb a few times, they have been out of stock when I needed to buy some.


I bought a load of thunderweb ones last year and they are pretty good tbh

What is the difference between normal and thunderweb (I know they look different) do they kick out the material faster? I like the Milwaukee drill bits, even the masonry ones don’t seem to dull like others do.

So - used the Thunderweb Milwaukee bits today and was really impressed. I did actually break the 3mm bit but it was entirely my fault! Really smooth and clean cut removing the bolt that had sheared from my ABS sensor.

Got it removed and re-tapped the hole so hopefully it is good to go for the new sensor when it arrives.

Also removed the old handbrake cable - the hanger rail is held on by an M6 which goes into a screw clip and these (typical :lol: ) sheared and failed. Can get replacements on Amazon so will replace later in the week.

Replaced the rear door striker plate (door still not closing properly...).

The bolts into the brake cylinder look like they are going to be a nightmare and given that the cylinder looks serviceable I'm going to hold off changing the cylinder for now.

Not today but yesterday, I took of the oil cooler/filter assembly and replaced the gasket to the block, to hopefully stop an annoying oil leak... Messy but not a hard job.
