Sachs SRE Organic Clutch & BBS CH 18" Alloys - Done 02/04/2013
Well in less than 3 months, my southbend clutch gave up yet again. This time it totally shat itself ripping the centre out of the clutch side and taking a chunk out the pressure plate. I contacted the company I got clutch from again and they agreed to replace it but I didn't want a southbend again so offered me the Sachs SRE kit. Here's the pics of the southbend.
Dash Magnetic Mounts for Nexus 7 - Done 23/05/2013
Well I bought a nexus 7 and got a satnav app on it so thought it would be a good idea to find something to easily mount it on the dash in the car. So I got some magnetic mounts with the metal plates and mounted them in the back of my tablet. Meanwhile I made some brackets to slide between dash and centre vents and mounted the magnets to them. Does the job perfect and hold the tablet there perfect. Also I can connect it to my head unit via Bluetooth and use it to watch films, browse internet, play music, etc.....
Here's the mounts

Genuine VW/SEAT Brake Discs and Pads All Round - Fitted 02/08/2013
It was time to change the brakes all round after having the Leon for a little under 18months. Managed to get a full set of discs and pads from TPS for £126 inc vat so can't complain at that. I was only going to replace the rear discs and pads as they looked low but after more inspection I found the fronts have well and truely had it so had to do all 4 corners. As you can see they seriously needed replacing.
Rears Before
Rears After
Fronts
Old Pad VS New Pad
Think I definatly had my moneys worth out of them.
After noticing that one of my alloy wheels have suffered pot hole damage AGAIN and I don't know how or when, it was either to get a new alloy or a different set, so I managed to find an absolutely mint and I mean mint condition set of BBS CH 18" alloys with Avon ZZ3 tyres that have only been on a car for 4 months so plenty of tread left for an absolute bargain. So decided to have these and sell on my team dynamics. So while I was doing the brakes I changed all wheels around. Think the new wheels suits it very well. Here's a few pics including the damaged alloy wheel.
And now how she stands with new wheels.
