when you spray everything with wd40 with the engine running does the engine surge and pick up? it sounds like it could be an air or vacuum leak

it seems i'm wrong! somewhere along the line i've got mixed up with the power to maintain the speed, you live and learn!

were the pads you replaced worn out? if they were and piston didn't need winding back then you have a seized piston, it doesn't really make any difference if the long or short slot line up with the sticky out bit on the pad the best way to clean calipers up is to use a wire brush, meths would...

a long stroke and short stroke both turning at 3000rpm will indeed both be turning at the same speed - well done, the part you have missed is that a long stroke engine will produce more torque than a short stroke, meaning that the long stroke will be doing 70mph while the short stroke 60mph...

good idea but i only drink fosters!!

it would have 4 alloys then

Hello, I need a built in storage device for this alcove I have in my living/dining room. the width is 77cm and depth is 33cm, I'm ideally looking at having a lower cabinet with doors for general storage (junk cupboard basically) with shelves above to store books, dvds, cd's etc I was...

i was under the assumption that the spare is a space saver as it was stated that the op had 3 alloys and a spare

trust me, it does

as long as it holds the vehicle and the handbrake doesn't end up being verticle, thats good enough for me, but they will always "bed" in after a couple hundred miles

which i said was about 3000rpm but said the length of the con rod affects it, but confused people by not mentioning the stroke

Q's are quite common, i still fit them today on defenders and transits

N P and Q aren't, to be honest i've never seen an N but P and Q are quite common in my line of work

in my experience you have to screw them "right home" to allow you to fit the caliper over the new pads, and even then its a tight fit if you have fitted new discs as well

a short stroke engine will be rotating quicker than a long stroke at a given speed and gear ratio, if a range rover and ford ka both have a 5th gear ratio of 0.8:1 and are both doing 70mph, the long stroke in the rover may be revving at 2500rpm while the ka with the short stroke could be revving...

you're thinking of shoe adjusters, they never self adjust, disc pad brakes used for a handbrake self adjust fine, and if they don't the piston will be seized and you'll soon notice that as soon as you apply the foot brake and you start going sideways

no they're not http://www.tyres-online.co.uk/techinfo/speed.asp

i hope you buy my house next, i'll be taking everything, windows, doors, floors, stairs, ceilings

the piston is self adjusting, and as the new pads wear to the new discs, the piston will wind out further giving you a better hand brake, you should expect to have around 5 clicks, if not, you'll have to adjust the cables
