Taking the old spare parts 406 for a final drive round the fields before i take the engine and gear box out. At this stage the doors, boot lid and bonnet had been removed as well as most of the interior except for the drivers seat and seatbelt, with so little parts to heave around the car went considerably quicker. The drum brakes on the back of this more basic model were great for doing proper handbrake turns, something my executive which has rear disk brakes with drums inside the rear disks cant do very well. The main reason for this is that the drums on this are much bigger, the shoes are bigger and the backplate is much thicker. The rattling noise you can hear was because i had nuts and bolts lying in the spare wheel well, and the DIY tripod holder rattled.
