Long long ago............



a shop crushed the sheathing over my front parking brake cable when lifting the van by the frame causing a lot of resistance, and as a result the cable did not always fully retract and the parking brake lever would rattle.

Finally measured and ordered a replacement, 138".

Installed it today. Hardest part was getting the old firewall grommett out and reinstalling it on the new cable without damaging it. Silicone spray and some Syl-glide worked and cleaned it up nicely too.

I also bedded in my brake pads to my new brembo rotors by getting them really hot doing some higher speed emergency stops down to 20mph.

Then went surfing. Had it to myself. Felt sharky haha.

Drove to work today, relicenced it for the season and this afternoon brought it to the garage for oil- and filterchange as well replacing the glowplugs.

With the actual cold temperatures, after a day sitting outside it was really hard to get the diesel-engine running (3 glow-sessions and after that it run only on 3 or 3 cylinders with a lot of smoke behind the van).

On wednesday evening, I will get it hopeful back, since the sheduled maintainance day is wednesday.

i looked into replacing the throttle cable and got some PBblaster silicon spray to lube up the peddle a touch since it feels like I'm trying to push a brick down.

Cleaned the inside, relocated the two front speakers, and tried to trace down problem with led underglow. No such luck yet.
Oh, and had fun driving to work and back playing in traffic....


How do you know it won't work? Have you tried it, yet??
