Also tonight there, some more stuff on order from Ebay, Gearbox mounts, a decat pipe, a number plate light, fan belt with tensioner, ( more info on that to come)
I did toy with the idea of buying my disc setup upgrade, but id rather do some more research on the rear side of things 1st as well as replacement hoses too. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back In the words of my Good Friend, Gary Forrest 1980 -2025 " we will work something out" |

I will be switching them to vented at the front, and upgrade the rears, I do have a problem somewhere across the board. So i might as well just upgrade while i have the option to do so. With me doing mainly motorway miles i want the system up to scratch. The A19 what i go on, is wacky races at times! So i need the stopping power, Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I switched to vented front and 110 rears on mine. Made a nice improvement in stopping power

Matt neal has been in the btcc for nearly 30 years, he has worked his way up from an independent team to a works drive. won the championship 3 times. But I think he has lost his spark now, your friend might have even worked with him too at some point. Some engineers do jump around.

110 rear brakes are very slightly larger in diameter but the main difference is that the caliper is larger and has a larger piston for better braking on the rear.
The good thing is that it's a bolt on conversion and even with the extra power at the rear, the fronts still lock up before the rear. So it's still a stable and safe braking upgrade 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

yeah the little things make the difference, which you will see when you add those touches to yours. My dad isn't keen, he is more original, me I have gone for the more lux side of things, XS spec.
