Yep, if you were green you could buy through the shop. :)

If you want to stay blue then you'll need to buy through me. Ones cheaper than the other ;) guess which one

Joking aside Graham its a owner member perk as there are not many sets left and we can offer cheaper than you can get from trade because we managed to get a bulk batch and dont look for profit.

Graham you need to complete the questionnaire which was sent when you registered, once green you will see a lot more plus go to the shop and get the discs and pads etc. We don't have a sunroof motor around so suggest either Rimmer/B&G/xpart or breakers/e-bay. The motor is a standard item you can get from the FWD 75's and ZT's. :)

I'll e-mail you.

You might not need handbrake shoes could be stretchy cable issue, weak point of the V8 but there is a fix from a gent called Artic on the 75&ZT forum. Be careful of the likes of Kwik-fit. The general trade don't have an understanding of our cars thinking they are the same as the FWD cars.

Maybe just a good clean up inside the brake drums might save new handbrake shoes along with the handbrake compensator mod that Tim mention
from memory, Peugeot 605 handbrake shoes are very nearly identicle and some have fitted these I believe

:cool:

I've fitted Peugeot hand brake shoes and they are not nearly identical..................they are identical.
Detailed thread on this forum.

Have to check though whether they were the 605 ones...................or 607

Welcome Graham You wont get better assistance and advice anywhere else than here for the V8. Good luck with the rear breaks and enjoy the car...

Hi Graham
Nobody has mentioned that it is possible to get your discs skimmed in-situ using a "Pro-cut" machine
This is providing your handbrake is working OK
This process is fairly inexpensive compared to the cost of new discs. Worth checking out, try googling for info and your nearest agent

There are a few mobile disc scimmers around worth checking them out as they can come to you.
