Brakes grinding ....

[Hazza]

Every mroning when i drive to work.... i have to brake within 4 metres of my journey from my house to work.. as there are speed bumps... the first time i brake that day i hear the brakes grinding.... but when i brake 'hard' the grinding goes... and turns to squeeks...

Is it time to change the brakes again??

 

[TeZ]

yes. or clean them

 

[Hazza]

Which would u suggest me to do?

Or should i just pop to where i got them changed... and ask them to check them for me??

 

[TeZ]

yeah just get someone to have a quick Check on wear of pads and disks mate no biggy.

How much was ur cambelt?

I am trying to get hold of Yozzasport to get me a cambelt, and get someone to fit it on, is that a cheaper way do u think??

 

[TeZ]

Neil to fit mine for about £200 ( including Kit)

i have just had the above all done

i had my cambelt done about 5k ago, cost me about £250 including the water pump

i have spent roughly 1k on my 1.2 since i got it in january....which is why it is still standard

Where did u get ur cambelt changed mate?

i use a small local garage, who i know i can trust

alot of travelling for me to go to a specialist

 

[Hazza]

So best thing for me is to ask around... and get the best possible price?..

would it better and cheaper option to buy the cambelt off yozzasport.. quoted around the £70 mark i think.... and then ask whether a local garage would fit it for me?...

or would it be around the same price just getting them to order the parts in and get them to fit it??
