cheers :D

i've just been digging in the service history

it lived about 5 miles from my house in 1993!

And it had the bigger 296x25 front disks and bigger calipers when it was new :( who's f**king taken them off!

I wonder of sytners will be able to sort me out?

Looks nice. How much did it set you back?

Will this be putting in a performance at Aces like the Executive Slag? :teehee:

I'm looking forward to seeing it mate.

Glad you enjoyed the Cavalier!

Big discs!!

I doubt someone knabbed them, maybe they were changed for the standard ones because disc and pad replacement was sh*tloads for the bigger ones.

my local dealer said they used to look after a C2 years ago, just so happens this one has been serviced there in 93/4. He said it had big brakes and they used to have to wait 5-6weeks for the disks to come in from germany


I've got the part numbers for them!
