Will have a look at them later Christian, thanks

My wrist action was mullered after too much T-cut so the NUR spec will have to wait until tomorrow

I did clean some of the shiny stuff under the bonnet and it's come up lovely.
A quick diagnostic with Russ on the phone leads me to think that the rear caliper is the fault for brake binding. I'll get the thing up in the air and see what's what. Apparently the calipers are only

Stu, cambelt job is pretty easy, main expense is the belt as its massive and the tensioner pulley as that sometimes goes!

Rad out, and you are good to go on the job! Otherwise take it to APT and they will sort it in a jiffy!

Now that looks better!
When you do the cambelt mate, I would change the waterpump and fit a cooler running thermostat as well.

If yours has the plunger type tensioner KEEP IT! Dont be swayed into fitting the later type like i nearly did. Yes the plunger type might seize in position, but they dont fail like the later ones can. This came straight from Tim.

Have a look at what this guys done on page one........

Like Logan said change the tensioner when doing the belt. It is possible to do the belt with the rad in place and just taking the fans off but you might find the bolts that hold the fans shear off. I ended up with cable ties holding the bottom of the fans on mine
