right i was visting leeds i dont live there so i had to drive the car back

I had secured the caliper with 2 bolts i had and to be honest the response along this line dictate what i think is wrong with this site too many opnionated a**es

if u were stuck 1 hour away from home and had no other alternative what would u do and the only reason i kep going is i thought at the time it was the bolt to the flange so though was better to get to a garage and fix it

Lol, if I was in Leeds seeing Chris and my Betsy went wrong, I would be getting the train back to Cornwall and leaving the thing up in Yorkshire! ...nevermind an hour away, I rather prize my (and other people's) life and would no way risk it....
