Lanoguard the underneath

Peter be interested to see how you get on with the Lanoguard, just had the car serviced and now I've SORN'd it. Got to replace the headlight adjuster thing and then back into the garage until spring. Still in negotiations regarding its sale...

All being well, I plan on an Oil & filter change service, replace brake pads and paint calipers, discs are fine ACF50 underside.
Any other jobs that 'pop up'.

Starter motor, replace fogs, de-rust underneath, paint callipers, fit the subs, oil change and if brave, do an MOT.

Everything bought to do the jobs (except starter as is out of stock everywhere)

ACF50?

May I ask why that amongst many others?

The adjustable camber plates are making a clicking noise. They’ll be replaced with fixed -2.5° angle. And scheduled oil change, etc. All in early December.

That's a lot of camber for the front...

Because I use it on my bike and bought 5 litres, always brings it up nice
