    sounds worst than first thought

    ok, so the story so far, after returning from a 500 mile round trip, we picked up a new noise, on our return I took it to the local LR garage who said that it looked like front ns brake was binding, and quoted £320, I bought it home, and after a few members here said "do it yourself" I did...

    Advice/info

    Ive always found, the best thing with noises is to turn the radio up louder, why worry, it only gets you stressed, when it goes bang, thats the time to worry

    so, the garage has said

    just had a look, after removing the front wheel, the disk would not spin freely like they did on my old 2wd cars, is that because this has the vcu on it?? anyway, took the calliper off, plus around a tonne of mud (dunno where that came from:D ) and yup the slider bolt thingeys were stuck solid...

    can the rear wiper be hot wired

    Im not saying the design is unnecessary, just unnecessary to me, and if the wiper is directly wired, why would it not work in reverse???? not that I can ever remember wanting the rear wiper on for more than a few wipes

    can the rear wiper be hot wired

    obviously not read the whole post, as the window STOPPED working before the wires broke, thus using a window repair kit would only let me remove the wooden/metal struts/bodge, the window would still NOT WORK, as something had gone wrong already, so then what? replace the rear handle/micro...

    well, it looks like that noise we picked up on our trip aint going to break the bank, so SES88, do you take paypal? as I only just fitted new AT tyres all round a few months back, I'd just add the spacers for now, and look at different sized tyres later down the line, but that would still...

    vcu test

    reading on the bell website, the reckon all these "test's" are old wives tales, and don't show if its ok or not, so I'd say you have a 50/50 chance

    so, the garage has said

    after returning from a 500 plus mile trip, something sounded wrong at the front passenger side, just been to the garage and been told the ns calliper is binding, so they are quoting a exchange calliper, new pads and new disks at around £320, although I trust this garage, is that all really...

    can the rear wiper be hot wired

    ok, so my rear door had a problem quite a few months back, the window wouldn't drop, as a bodge to get around it I got the window lowered a few mill by brute force, the door then opened/closed, but left the window on the outside of the channel, a couple of weeks ago I had another go at...
