Hi all, after 3 weeks of no turn over clicks the problem returned Had to bite the bullet and remove starter. Nice job if you have the arms and hands of a two year old. Certainly tested my determination. Striped starter and replaced contact and plunger good clean up refitted, Worth the time and...

Sorry for the delay but didn't get a chance to fit the new calliper , all done now though and all is good , pins where fine just the calliper. You where spot on when you said about them binding and when they cooled off they where fine which caused me to look at the handbrake adjustment and of...

Will do thanks for your reply

Yes they are shoes inside the disc hub, the calliper seems to be moving freely in and out but I will give it another look, Thank you, Paulo

Hi all looking for some ideas , after my 2005 RR SC sport had come back from its MOT I noticed a smell of burning brake coming from the rear LHS, I striped the rear discs off and inspected the EPB all seems to be ok . The discs and shoes are fairly new and seem to be working fine. Adjusted the...

My RR sport is a 2005 SC, the battery is a Yuasa 5000 silver 100ah 900a, the charger is a big sealy not sure of output the readings I gave were with the charger disconnected

Thank you for that very useful information about the alternator , I have taken the battery of the car and put it on charge, After about half an hour I did a quick test with the multimeter and got a reading of 12.8. I will leave it on charge now for 24 hours and re test to see how much it drops...

Dose this mean my alternator is not charging properly ?

Yes it was the same across the posts, running 13.8 with everything on 13.6

Hi all, Quick update on RR, typically the starter has been turning over first time every time since We spoke last, removed head light and cleaned both earth connections , checked with multimeter battery pos to engine bracket getting reading of 12.32 which I'm guessing is a bit low , could that...

Thank you all for your knowledgable replies , you have saved me a lot of time, I do have a multimeter and will perform the suggested test and take a look at the two earths at the weekend and keep you informed. Thanks again, Paul

Update was out for most of the day but when I got back had a look at the RR. Checked battery connections found the positive was not as tight as it should be. Then I changed the starter relay over with another one which was the same. Neither of these things sorted the problem. I suppose the next...

I changed all the rubber seals in the front suspension valve block , hardest part was getting the two bolts back in the plastic bracket that holds the oil cooler without removing bumper (RR sport sc.)

It's posible I think it's a case of elimination, I will check the simple things first and then I will have to find information on how to test the different components .

Yes thank you I will do some investigation tomorrow
