Hi Sam I would either ignore his letter or if its worrying you either go and see citizen advice or it might cost you a little (not too much though, I know some soliciters even do the first visit for free) beat him to the punch and go see a soliciter then see what he does. Personally I would say sold...

Re: Legal advice - NEW DEVELOPMENTS - Further Update!

Ask him to produce the old brake parts so you can check them. I like the 2p idea too :lol: You could use 2 1p coins and make it in to a smiley face by sticking them to some card and drawing a big smile. You could also ask him to send some pics of the new exhaust and brakes as your interested in seei...

Re: Rear brake pads

Brakes all sorted. Looks like the problem was me :oops: Tried to put old pads back on and hit the same problem, so it was definatey something I was doing wrong. I put the new pads back in and push the caliper pretty hard and it suddenly slipped over the rotor bracket allowing me to put the bolt in. ...

Re: Rear brake pads

No just ordered the pads from them.

The pads fit size wise it's just the thickness that seems wrong. It's probably something I am doing wrong but to be honest there is not much to changing the brakes.

So much for it being a quick job.

No worries mate didn't take it that way any way so all good. Although it did take me 10 mins of trying to pull the calliper up to realise i had left the hand break on :oops: Yeah it seems strange to me too. Wouldn't rule out me doing something wrong but have changed pads on a mr2 a few times before ...
