    Squeaking from brakes

    So never made it to the garage due to me being busy when they weren't and them being busy when I wasn't. But I'm sure I've found what's making the noise. As I had everything off the disc again this evening and when putting pressure at the bottom of the ABS sensor and spinning the disc it didn't...

    Squeaking from brakes

    I'm going to take it round my local garage this evening or tomorrow if they aren't too busy see if they can find out what it is, as my car knowledge has run out now and don't have a single idea of what to try next. Will update with what my garage say if they manage to squeeze enough time to...

    Squeaking from brakes

    As i understand the wheel bearing is in disc brake, so the noise shouldn't be a failed bearing after 1000 miles? but don't have anymore ideas. is your noise the same as mine posted in the video?

    Squeaking from brakes

    So as the sun was out this afternoon I decided to give it a go after work... I now don't think it's my brakes making the noise as I chamfered my pads and put new shims/pad fitting kits on as I might as well only part of the brake that hadn't been replaced at this point but the noise is the...

    Squeaking from brakes

    I've got a almost constant very loud squeak coming from my rear drivers side. I'm pretty sure its something to do with the brakes as the rare chance i get in the car and its not squeaking but it is guaranteed to start at some point in my drive if I hit a slight bump or stamp the stop pedal a bit...

    Start Relay?

    Yeah checked the big boy fuses on the main lead and is all good. This is a weird part, when it's all wired in, I get less than 1 volt down the lead to the starter and the signal wire never gets any voltage what so ever when actually trying to start the car. that's why I want to check the relay...

    Won't start steering not locked

    Where is the engine earth cable? as I took the two connections of the battery and cleaned up the terminals. I have a feeling its got to be something along these lines as it was flawless Tuesday to Friday went to drive it Saturday and nothing so i think something might have just not been done up...

    Late Introduction
