    MOT'd the G4. No advisories but the horn clock spring wire went open circuit on way to MOT so had to replace the clock spring. It passed OK then !!

    Switch on brake pedal allows stick to move out of park. I think it is the small hall effect one, not the brake lamp switch. Maybe come unplugged or out of alignment. Or broken !!

    So according to supplier they should be as red stripes. So the one in the photo is fitted wrong. If I understand the majority replies above, this would mean the opposite to the views presented. Am I understanding correctly??

    Do you get a solenoid click?? Measure cranking voltage. Low voltage can be insufficient to pull the starter in and make the contacts up. It could be worn contacts or high resistance as you say. Earth leads can be checked by measuring voltage drop...

    You haven't witnessed my driving 😀 Fair point. Will try them as I think I glazed mine due to calipers being sticky when I got the car.

    Sod it. I'll put a pair on and see what happens. Checking pistons are free in process. The 18" wheels are so heavy, just taking them off once is very attractive.

    AI says; Slotted discs: Feature grooves that run along the disc's surface. They offer improved gas and water expulsion and can enhance pad bite. Drilled discs: Have holes drilled through the disc, offering better heat dissipation and gas...

    Thanks, calipers are only a year old, but it is possible. Brakes run cool when driving with no brake application. Thinking - I renewed the pads and discs first before realising the calipers were not returning properly, although not seized. Is it...

    A minor annoyance on the TD4 Sport 2003. When I bought the car it had seized calipers and worn discs. Calipers and discs replaced and Mintex pads fitted. All good with no problem for 15,000 miles. Due to a long Scotland trip looming, I replaced...

    Off the car should be 1/3 of the time on the car. Due to the 3:1 diff gearing. So 1.2m and 5Kg on the car at a minute is at end of life. I use as a rule of thumb.
