You need to check the Altenator and make sure the bearings etc are good cheaper to check then to fix later. As regards your new exhaust I would forget the cats as far as I know they never test for exhaust in our part of the world so why add a further restriction. Even if they did you can swap for rego. My opinion on break rotors is a bit strange as I say never machine them even when they have groves. Over the years I have had major fights with machanics about this. My reasoning is that the pads will settle in in the first 1,000 k and the worst you will get my be some noise if they collect dirt. The other point why remove the grove when it will be back next pad change. When I want to be stupid I just say the area of the groves increases the contact area for the barke pads (techenialy true). The other thing is I don't change them if they worp as they will settle back over time. My front ones have worped a couple of times now and they are spinning straight at this time. Like I said I handle things different I would never do more then 100,000 with out replacing the temostate.
The tail shaft is back tmorrow rebuilt by Hardy Spicer in Sydney so I will let you know.
