18000 Mile Service
Mileage: 18133
Standard 18000 mile service at Carl Rosners again, plus new rear EBC again, and strip and clean front calipers*. Also new chain and sprockets. £525. Ouch. Rosners overfilled the coolant, and didn’t bother to check the brake fluid after de-binding the front calipers – so that the brake lever was pulling right back to the bar. Tch tch. Put new brake fluid in and bled the system myself. Good news is the brakes are good again after months of being crap. I’m too lazy.
First MOT must be due soon.
* Edit 02/08/10 - I’ve just had the calipers off and found that this hadn’t been done either. I wonder what else they didn’t do properly. Last time I use Carl Rosners.

[...] I was at it I discovered that not only had the system not been bled, but my calipers and pistons had not been ‘stripped and cleaned‘ as I had paid Carl [...]
