if i push the lever towards the front of the car then i believe the piston moves out of the caliper. (is that what you ment?)

Im not exactly sure whats bust. Once you remove the rear pads you should be able to lever the piston back in with a little bit of force yeah? but this was stuck big time and wouldnt move at all. it moved back with me having screw it in using a screwdriver on the piston. did a test with the...

Not the fan belt then?

managed to get the caliper off thee car in the end! i disconnected the cable at the handbrake equaliser and pulled the cable through to get caliper off. the metal nubbin looks like it has been fooked by someone hitting it so thats why i was having trouble getting it off. bloody caliper still...

ive got it off thr lever arm that pulls and works the caliper but it wont come out of the arm part you mentioned. it seems to be help in place by a metal grommet of some sort but it wont come out of the arm. The reason im trying to take it off is coz my caliper has seized so wanted to have a...

ive tried to pull it off but its stuck in like a f**ker. they tell u to tap it out in the haynes manual but i cannot get this lil bugger out. by the way thanx for all your help ben. your a star :)

bloody hell! i seemed 2 have caused a bit of tension here. whoops!! sorry :o Thanks for your help anyway people. it is appreciated

the only way i can see i going to etthe caliper off is to cut the handbrake cable the get the clip thingy (whatever it is) out once the caliper is off. dont wanna do this but seems like the only way :(

the tapping noise definately sounds like its coming from the engine. i can hear a slight ticking from my injectors but the tapping from my engine is bloody loud sometimes. my oil pressure at 1000 rpm (dont know what temperature coz my temp gauge aint working) is just over 1, at 3500 rpm it is...

How the f**k do you remove the handbrake cable from the caliper??! in the haynes manual it says there is a retaining clip of some sort and you should tap it to get it out. I tried taping it and bashing the hell outa it but the bugger wont move. Can anyone help??

having some probs (i think!) with my valver. firstly the oil pressure is very high (at 6) when starting from cold and i get a tapping noise that increases with revs from my engine. could this be tappets?? also my power steering makes a horrible noise , like a squeaking when turn from a...

I have a similar sorta prob with my valver, when i put the revs up and try to pull off quick, it just seems to rev to f**k and dont accelrate quick. if when im going along and drop the clutch the same thing happens. almost as if clutch is slipping but not sure. clutch seems quiet stiff too...

Divet?!! itd be more like a f**king crater! i could put a 10 sub in the hole thatd make!

tried the GIVING IT A WHACK! method and it did work but now dont work no matter how hard i hit it!! maybe a sledge hammer would do the trick and at same time i could customize my dash!

does the switch look like say a fan switch? or bit smaller?

I have had this problem with my valver and it was to do with the rear brakes. maybe handbrake not tight enough or worn rar brakes or even the rear caliper sticking??????

take it you can buy the switch if it is the switch thats faulty? Also got another question....... my outside temperture lcd has stopped lighting up, expensive to buy?

My oil temperature gauge seems to not be working. cant find in haynes manual where the switch is or even if it has one. any ideas?
