It does seem strange for a brake disc to fail like that , especially after only 2 months . Your best bet would be to contact West Renault tbh mate .

Nice one . Glad you got em sorted mate :D

The thing is with tyres , it's more down to a personal choice . You'll get some people who rave over one tyre , saying they're the best thing since sliced bread , then you'll get another group of people who think they're utter sh1te . I know that doesn't help your problem . But it's a debate...

£40 isn't " cheap " , cheap for a battery , but that doesn't mean to say you haven't bought a cheap battery though , they usually cost about double that price for an original battery , yours is probably some cheap Chinese compatible at that price . From my experience the cheap batteries don't...

+1 I hated the Toyos i had on my 172 , they were absolutely crap in the wet . I also love the Rainsports in the wet and dry . I run the fronts at 36psi though as the tyrewall does seem a little soft . @ the OP . I don't know if running 195's makes any difference , it does seem strange you're...

They didn't do a check on my car at Blackburn ( where bill took his ) or go round with a clipboard , well not to my knowledge anyway . And they had it for an hour and half lol . Luckily there was some old geezer in the reception area , another customer , who kept me entertained with the stories...

It won't be your brake fluid if it's a metal on metal sound . Like i said before , it sounds like there's no friction material left on at least one of the front pads , maybe more ..... ? If you could jack it up and spin the wheel you'll hear it grind if it is . Keep us posted . Oh , and take it...

They won't be cheap , even on an exchange basis . But if ya need em , then ya need em .

Well if it's not making a noise when you stop using the handbrake that's got to rule out the back brakes , so you're gonna have to check out your front brakes , starting with your pads . The squealing could be metal on metal , your brake pad backing plate on your disc . Look through the wheels...

It's probably just got a bit of rust on the pistons so it's binding . Take one out and have a look . Clean it up with a bit of fine wet n dry , a bit of grease on it and put it back in . It worked for me anyway .

Just tried again mate . It says " Andyman has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space. " ??

I concur , it is the easiest way tbh .

You want to tell him to pull it off ebay mate if you've paid a deposit . The auctions still running :S

Don't quote me on this , it's been a few years since i stripped a rear caliper down so i'm just going from memory . The piston should just screw out , it's only held in by a threaded screw that screws into the centre of the piston . It might be a bit seized , mine had rusted in a bit . But i got...

It is scary how little they go for these days . You can get alot of car for not much money .

Hard to tell from the pics , not the best quality , but obviously you've seen it in the flesh . But it looks in good condition , even the steering wheel hasn't suffered the dreaded melting . Offer him £1600 and see how ya get on . If you don't ask , you don't get eh ;) Height wise it looks ok to...

If he dropped that easily , he obviously wants shut of it . You want to pay £1800 , offer him £1600 then he might meet you in the middle . If you offer him £1800 he might say £1900 , hagglings a game lol .

I tried sending you a pm last night but your inbox is full .

It might even be a cup , no xenons , poverty spec interior i.e. no leather/alcantara seats . I'm not sure if the cups had aircon or not ? I think they might have in the 182's but no climate control . I'm not 100% on that . Someone else might come along and clarify that . There were 2 cup pack...

Is the seller saying it has the cup suspension ? If so i'm sure he wouldn't mind you whipping the wheel off the gain access and measure it . Especially if he isn't 100% himself . According to Fred you can measure this :
