The right one, gearbox sump needs a copper crush washer.

Yes, I run a large blue chip multinational.

Yeah that was a massive f*cking jack, looked like it could lift a truck!

I think you can get Powerflex replacements for the rear beam, i'll add it to the list of things that need sorting before I take it on track and let it fall to bits again. Edit: £70 f*cking notes...

You're a life saver mate.

F*ck knows mate, there's no give in the rear discs, they're not warped and the bearings are fine, the front drivers side was catching on the aux belt cover thing, so that was zip tied in place as it was flapping about, the right rear catching under load is a mystery as it doesn't seem to be...

Right just been to see HMS GuyMartin at one of the many garages he seems to work at, rear brake pads changed, old ones were f*cked and catching on the discs hub centre thing (I believe that's the technical term), the sliders were half seized with brake dust and crap so they were cleaned up, took...

The knocking under load is more than likely a worn dog bone mount, it's very common, £40 quid will get you polybushes to put in it that will solve the problem. The airbag light could just be a dodgy connector under one of the seats, i've got this atm.

No the noise is new and they've been on a couple of years fitted by my mate while I watched, he builds off road Land Rovers for a laugh so knows his way round cars, the way I chuck the thing around I wouldn't be surprised if i've worn the bearings out through bell end hoonery.

I've changed the pads on the front before and cleaned up the callipers and I helped a mate change my rear discs and pads once, so i've a fair idea of how it all works, it's removing the rear discs i'm not sure of, although i've seen it done a few times on other peoples Clios, it's just my mate...

Nice one Scott, if i've taken it all apart and i'm still confused i'll give you a bell mate.

Cheers Gus, if I do discover the bearings are f*cked i'll take you up on that offer of your old ones. I've never taken the discs off my car before so I don't know what to check, now i've got a decent check list to go though, cheers mate.

But nothing should be moving enough when cornering to grind on anything, pads or no pads.

It's definitely coming from the rear, after work I went into Leeks car park opposite and drove in a circle on full lock both ways, at low speed my exhaust is quiet and with no rear seats I car hear every creek and rattle from the back, it's the sound of calliper grinding on disc, the more I...

I'm leaving it to CS so it can be put on a plinth and displayed at CSF each year, like the Top Gear Hilux except in slightly worse condition.

I have slightly broken car, I think that counts.

FLOL, I want that at my funeral, i'm putting that in my will. You can still have a will if you've got f*ck all right?

Then I might reconsider my position.

I'm not talking to you anymore.

Will do mate, I was going to replace the pads before it's next mot in a couple of weeks anyway, so it's a good time to give it a once over see what's going on.

No, you're the one failing to answer them because he can't read or speak English. Go f*ck a light bulb.

Go back to GC you pair of mongs.

Finally someone that understands English, I did think the rear discs shouldn't be contacting anything when cornering, it would explain why the rear pads are suddenly an mot advisory when all they essentially do is stop the car rolling away when parked.

Jesus wept I wish I was dead. When i'm on full lock both ways, the REAR corners are grinding, like caliper on disc grinding.

I wish I was friends with people that weren't bell ends. The rears don't turn with the steering genius.

Are you drunk?

So i'm getting a grinding from both sides on full steering lock, it's the kind of grinding you get when your brake pads have worn down, they were an advisory on the last mot so i'm guessing that's what it is. The main thing I want to know is should the discs move like that when cornering, as...

I can't wait for this, even in this awful weather I really want to get pissed in a field with you tw*ts again.

If you're not camping you need to buy two Saturday admission only tickets for £12.95 each, then a track slot for £79.95, so all in your checkout basket should come to £105.85

Anyone with a functioning liver could out party me.
