Hi Dave, yeah still got the thing! Not planning on letting this one go any time soon, but it is looking a little sorry for itself at the minute. Promised myself I wouldn't let that happen with this one...and yet, here we are :-D

 

That sucks about the water leak on yours, seem to be like a sponge these things - not really sure where the leak is on mine yet either, but as you say it finds a way in. Was hoping it'd be a relatively easy fix, but now I'm not so sure. Think it's raining, again, this weekend so just going to sit in it looking like a weirdo for an hour and hope I can spot it! :-D Hope you manage to source yours as well! 

 

Determined to get it back on the road too, as I've really missed driving it. BMW is comfy, but my god is it boring!

Alright Chief, glad to see you've still got the deck. 

That caliper must have been properly stuck! 

Fair play for getting stuck back into it, and amazing find for the brand new mid spoiler!

Cheers Broon, yeah the caliper's absolutely shot to pieces. Surprised the back of the wheel held up as well as it did, the heat it was kicking out was insane! :-D

 

Someone at work's pointed me in the direction of Bigg Red brakes to do the refurb...anyone any experience of them? 

 

And really want to get the mid-spoiler fitted, just a small part of me is a tiny bit reluctant to start cutting in to the boot lid as that's the only panel I've already forked out on having repaired and resprayed... 

 

Rest of the parts have started arriving now - ARB, having ordered first, was the last to arrive of the first batch. Cracked the packaging open, and with a bit of paper and my finest GCSE maths it looks like its 22mm dia? I thought the ZS180's were 20mm? Looking to order some poly bushes for it, but don't want to get the wrong ones... Yet another confusing part on this car!

I've deffo heard of Bigg Red, think they also sell the refurb kits. I'm almost 90% (yeah, I'm old so can't remember stuff nowadays lol) I bought either refurbed calipers or a kit from them in the past. Think it was rear calipers for either DD or Ruby.
