Do you mean only three brands of disks available from ECP?

No, 3 actual factories in the world. I doubt if it's true though.

Today, the XM has been driven over a big branch that fell just in front of the car. ABS was working....but the car couldn't be stopped and banged right over it.

On the positive side: there is no damage to be seen so luckily it missed the bodywork and there are no obvious leaks and she drives just normal. I'll check her over none the less.
Lucky escape....

Gosh, that must have been a nasty surprise Jaap.... tyres okay?
Glad everyone is safe.

I wasn't present, tyres seem to be OK. Did I tell ye I bought 4 new Michelins energy savers..but winter tyres are still in use. Not so strange, given our lovely spring weather...

[russ92xmsed]

No I don't think you did. Did you get a good price? Certainly be interested in how good they are.
hey are definitely on my next tyre shopping list!

I am getting really really REALLY fed up with this rubbish cold dull weather we keep having. I was going to do the gearbox fluid change this weekend, only now it's decided to snow on Saturday. ERGH!

You can do gearbox fluid in the cold, I once did a head gasket, outside in -3c.

[captainhaddock]

Well, gearbox oil change isn't too bad but a head gasket, outside with -3.....you have to be ...... or very desperate!

Not in the bloody snow I'm not! if we escape the snow, it's going ahead.

I agree Jaap.

Before you know it Russ, you'll be the master mechanic on here

[russ92xmsed]

HA!..I don't think so.
I am learning a great deal, but I am no where near as experienced as everyone else on here.
