Been using this loads more recently, I've got a few jobs mounting up so decided to have a car day today. Wanted to get through them all but no such luck.
Wanted to change the rear shocks as they were looking a bit crusty, KTEC had some good deals on rear shocks and rear discs and pads, the whole lot were about £80 less than anywhere else for genuine so that was the first job:
Old and new shocks, the old ones didn't feel that bad, but nice to have all new after doing the fronts the other month:
Old brakes again weren't end of life, but a little crusty, the back of the discs had worn a little more. I need to respray the calipers too I know:
Finally there has recently been a nasty heat shield rattle, found that pretty quickly:
The clip was non existent and crumbled when I removed it, and I couldn't find anything else I could use today so I have improvised with a tight af cable tie that I then spun up the threads for a tight fit. Found a massive rubber washer from the Herald build which should do the job of holding it up.
Then I went for a spin and the dash lit up 😞
I read the codes and it is showing rear left sensor.
The bracket everyone replaces due to corrosion isn't that bad, I took it all apart and cleaned it up really well but it still hasn't helped, the code comes back every time I clear it after 200 yards of driving. I even threw the old disc back on incase it was the new ring but that didn't help either.
Have ordered a new sensor anyway, can't really think what else it could be. Unless the code is a red herring and it's actually the other side with an issue.
Then I stopped for the day, the last two things are cosmetic and it doesn't deserve them.
