To clarify one of the rears is down so will need to check both calipers as the readings are quite low, one worse than the other. The fronts are imbalanced so need checking to see what's going on there. The bias valve is something I think would improve the system as a whole once sorted to enable an MOT pass. I reckon this stems from the 4 pot caliper issue I found where it appears they were not handed units. The front to rear is okay as still on the OE spec set up. I was looking to insert the valve to enable some control over OE.

Thats another years fun for the ZS Derv.

Just a few advisories.

1) N/S/F Suspension mounting point showing some corrosion

2 & 3 ) Jacking points showing some corrosions

Guy said just wire brush and waxoyl should hold it for a few years, so thats next on the list.

not bad for a 12 year old car and 103.300 miles.

Rock on the YELLOW ones.

Yeah wire brush and waxoyl on the yellow paint will bring it up a treat.good result on the mot though .looks like the jacking points are becoming a real pest of a spot on them.

Well I was biting my nails as the ZS MOT ran out while I was in Asia on holiday... Got home, patched a tiny hole in the exhaust back box, and set off to the garage with dread on my mind...

An hour and a half later he had his new MOT with NO ASVISORIES at all! 😲

I am now feeling more like doing all the little bits and bobs he could do with again 😜. As a thanks I bought him a set of LED sweeping side repeaters... Only a tenner posted and they look great!
