Deja vu all over again .... NOT

[Catalan3200]

Took the CC out for a run today in torrential rain over to Stratford. Last time I ran in similar conditions in the 3200 was the day a Mitsubishi Evo slammed into my car on the A46 while waiting for the AA (as you do with a 3200) and created a write off in front of me.

Happy it's out of the way!

Awful weather. Glad you've laid that ghost to rest Catalan.

Off to Grimaldi's next weekend with the old 3200GT for a ride hight check and adjust,and a few other bits and pieces,then its back into storage over the winter until next April...

Then hopefully its a full on hooligan trip (no girlies!) with a few very qiuck 3 litre GTV AROC guys down to the Villa d'este Concorso on Lake Como next May

If anyones interested let me know,we always rock up around Cernobbio,Its a lovely place to spend a few days chilling out....

Getting mine sorted next week I hope. New rear discs / pads. Drill the bleed nipple *maybe* braided hoses and rebuilt rear dampers.
Then she *should* be ready for the winter.

Catman, has the bleed nipple actually sheared off or is it just being stubborn? One of my fronts took an awful lot of persuading to crack lose, I had to keep at it with WD40 and cycles of heating it cherry red without setting the caliper on fire, after 3-4 goes it decided it was beaten and cracked undone, Another lesson in galvanic corrosion I think...

Sheared off, I understand. Galvanic corrosion for the win.

It's hardly the end of the world. Remove caliper, drill, tap, insert new nipple. Rinse. Repeat next time they need bleeding
