    Rear discs?

    I'm due to be changing my rear discs. I have bought standard ones with the abs ring and bearing already attached. Are these still just a simple swap like the front ones would be, or is there a little more to it when the bearing and abs ring is involved? Thanks.

    Sachs Dampners Off Car

    Is there anyway I can check the effectiveness of the dampners once they are off the car? Obviously I know to check for misting on the units, though should they be pretty solid if I try to move them by hand?

    brake pedal travel

    I have just taken my rear brakes apart and fitted new seals. They work now (they were jammed solid before) but the first time I apply the brakes the pedal goes down too far. If I pump it, the travels shortens and the brakes work normally. The pedal is solid when it gets to the end of its travel...

    Prices! Whats going on?!

    right, my beef is basically, why are these cars just not worth that much money anymore? for a car as amazing as this to drop from £15,00 in 5 years is pretty shocking, i think asking for £4000, £5000, or even £6000 when selling yours is rediculous. these cars are classic and a piece of history...
