Good idea, I am sorting the squeaky handbrake out this weekend, so the pins will be a welcome diversion!

If you try and take a cat apart the first thing you have is a non working cat.

Removed rear wheels & discs and lubed the handbrake mechanism, which stopped the squeak.
Then went for a spin and it sounded like a steam train, chuffing down the road. Seem to be coming from the err off side. Spent the whole afternoon removing the wheels and putting them back on to see what it was. Want rhea spacers. Wasn't the dust shields. Eventually put the rear wheels on the front and the noise moved there. It was the type of run flats tyre I have! Really noisy chufchifchuffchif as I drive down the road. Looks like I need to dump them and get some none run flats. Shame, they are almost new!

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

Had muffler delete pipes put on on Friday, went for slightly bigger oem style tips. I've done 200 miles with them on and am amazed at how good it sounds. Another 160 miles to do today and can't wait. The popping and banging is addictive. A day enjoying the car rather than tinkering
