Handsaw..dont be lazy

Thats the downside to running older cars sadly..once oem parts dissappear your stuck with aftermarket parts which never last as long. Finding this on my clio dci of same vintage.

Refurbed calipers could be the issue, pads slack or whatever. Im sure @Bowz had issues with them on his

I fixed this issue on a 172 rear under braking. Im sure it was loose rear pads or seized sliders, i sorted it by changing the rear discs and pads. Grease the sliders, check bolt torque on the caliper, check rear wheel bearing for play and maybe retorque hub nut. Take pads out and grease up the...

Last week i also changed the heater controls on the Kangoo. Mine were tired/damaged and the illumination has never worked despite changing bulbs ages ago, which was annoying when night driving. Quick half hour job he says. Start taking the cables off the heater panel that are held in with a...

Updates Been chasing an intermittent misfire on this for a while now. Most of the time its clean but does the odd jolt at part throttle/higher rpms etc. As the R8 coils are known to fail i thought it was worth changing for new and try some expensive iridium sparks to replace the copper. I...

Whats the verdict from Mick? Rack shot ?

Oem for rear discs, they include bearing. Stub axles dont generally need replacing.

Change the runners i guess. They just bolt onto the seat base & not sport specific.

Check the bolts are torqued / tight before condemning them. Ive had a shock come loose on another car and had similar light knocking, went with a retorque
