Now, this should probably be it's own post, but I wanted to reply to the weight question. I checked my owners manual, and it list it at 1695kg. Then I thought I would check with the "experts" - Santiago is out of Italy and My Aunt is here in the states for the Haskell horse race. She stated that she thought it was around 1700, and said that she recalled that it was correct in the owner manual where it was listed in English as Curb weith, the misspelling seems to be what she remembers most.
So I would say 1695.
We
Auto motor und sport measured 1780kg with full tanks. Owners manual says 1695kg. Owner´s manual also states that the fual tanks are 2 x 60 litres. That means 120 litres, not 100 as I wrote earlier. 120 litres of fuel is 84 kilos, so 1780kg - 84kg = 1696kg / Owner´s manual 1695kg
This is starting to make sense now..

I bought a new cable from our local ex distributor who still has some parts here in Sydney this week. It was around AU$200. My cable was only working on one side and had seized on the other. I'm impressed that you have massaged the one you have into submission with lots of lube.
By the way I found out that the rear calipers are Jensen Interceptor as I've just had then rebuilt. The seperate hand brake pads should last for ever - unless you drive around with your hand brake on.
