All sorted - had to disconnect the handbrake connection as well.

I shall give it a go, as always - good advice !

I must have changed hundreds of brake disks/pads in my 40yrs of motoring - but for the life of me I could not wind back the rear Caliper pistons today. Am I missing something, the Draper tool I used started to bend. Any ideas, I'd be ashamed to take it to a garage. :(

Nice. The Millau bridge looks stunning.

Spraying gloss black. I will post some photos when complete.

I'm going to replace the rear Brake Discs and pads this weekend. I will take this opportunity to clean and paint the calipers. Opal white car with silver arches - Any suggestions on what colour to paint them ?

I posted this a while ago. See if it helps. I would suggest that if the allen key will not turn its reached its limit. Stop turning !

Happy Birthday Les. I just passed 61 - Is it compulsory to be in your 60's to have an RCZ ? :)

No luck I'm afraid. The Service box diagram is not like the Haynes books - nice and simple. Not able to copy the diagram for you as its all hyperlinked. If you can see the motor terminals (or lugs on the electric motor itself), then maybe you can apply a low voltage directly. I'm sure 6 volts...

Hope its back soon. Which garage is doing the work ?

Here....

"Cleaner" - I missed that :)

I used this stuff.... WD40 ..but I think it would need a few attempts and some compressed air to clean that. Brake fluid is very corrosive - I would avoid that.

Parked up by the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. Spotted whilst on holiday. Wish I'd taken my RCZ - some lovely drives across the moors.

Only got 40,000 miles on the clock and regularly serviced. I will get a spare and keep it in the boot. Now that I know what a failed one behaves like I will be prepared.

Yep, £93 for one. Shouldn't be charging labour as I'm a full member.

Out for a drive yesterday, Forest of Dean & Wye Valley. Engine stuttered, Engine warning light etc. Called the AA, Warning light had dissapeared but engine still stuttering. AA chap was pretty sure it was a coil, so No2. was replaced and now runs like a dream. He charged me £93 for the coil...
