The Transfagarasan Road is like a real-life F1 track, weaving its way through the heart of Romania.

My family would like to send season’s greetings to all who visit this forum, those who try to help, and those who administer the forum for our benefit. May you all have a peaceful and safe Christmas, and it would be great to hopefully look forward to a return of being able to do what we once took for granted. Take care. Best wishes and kind regards to you all. Gareth.

Glad to hear the tyres are OK. Please explain more about the brake fault. 5 mm wear is extraordinary, nevertheless the wear should be uniform. Was the disc loose or was the pad loose?

Hi Gareth, at that milage the shocks are probably at the end of there service life if you take into account the tyre wear in the video, the shocks are oil over gas and don't have to leak to be knackered which is why springs break as they are doing most of the work and the damper unit is just following the spring about like a bored husband in a dress shop, I have always changed the shocks and springs on my cabs at around 120k and noticed a spectacular improvement in handling and tyre wear, example being my last MK4 Mondeo estate after switching to heavy duty shocks [Bilstein] and Kilen springs the ride was as sharp as a razor and stayed that way until I sold the car another 2000k later, I would also like to point out badly worn dampers increase your stopping distance by twenty feet from any given speed as the tyre is trying to grip with no gradual compression from the damper and spring, saw this at a trade show I attended and it made pretty grim viewing as you can have the best discs and pads available but if the rest is knackered the end result is the same, longer to stop. Steve.
