Mine doesn't display the gear. Would be a nice touch if it did but the display on mine, where the car is, doesn't look capable of displaying numbers, just noddy car and the four oversized wheels. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Ok. Will do that and see if they all require equal pressure. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Thanks. Will give that a go. Should I be able to push the pistons back in by hand? Or lever them with a screwdriver? Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

I gave the calipers a decent clean up. Put copper slip on the edges of the pad (where the contact the calliper) and cera tec over the back of the pad. Also copper slip on the retaining pins. Would you put copper slip / cera tec anywhere else? Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

I have experienced a few braking issues with the car since I bought it two years ago. After a trackway at Knockhill last week, I fitted 4 new Godspeed G hook discs. On the way home last night, I was braking gently (as per the running in guidance) but noticed the OSF disc was much hotter than...

Cool, I see now. There is a hairpin at Knockhill, a hard right hander, the front left was spinning on the exit quite a bit so that probably didn't help. Cheers Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I'll measure the peaks v troughs and compare. The middle three treads haven't worn square. They're more worn at one side than the other. So they're now angled, if that makes sense. I've drawn on the photo below to show. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I made it up to knockhill last month for my first track day in the Clio. Had a set of Goodyear Asymmetric 3 tyre with about 1,000 miles of road wear, almost new. After 20 mins or so, I checked the pressures and let a couple of psi out of the tyres, more on the passenger side (clockwise...

The UPC is the Protective Switching Unit. It's located under the bonnet behind the rhs headlight cluster. It contains fuses and relays and controls wiper / lighting functions etc. Managed to pick one up on eBay for £70. The only coding required is the alternator and the vin afaik. Sent from...

Car is currently in the garage (SWR in Stirling) and they have fixed it. Happy days. Turned out to be the UPC. I've got a receipt from the previous owner showing this was replaced to fix the fault last year, so I'd not considered it. Lesson learnt, always check yourself, don't take someone...

I won't be able to start the car until the UCH is programmed, but I'll be able to check if it fixes the wiper fault. Assuming it does, I'll look to program it. I need the vehicle access code to do so, but a bit more reading and I should be ok. The one I have was 170, not sure about the cruise...

Had the car in at an Auto Electricians last week. Sadly they weren't able to find the fault. Didn't charge me, just asked that I let them now what the issue was when I find it. Have now ordered a new UCH since BBA Reman don't service the model I have. It arrives Wednesday this week so hoping...

Sounds like the linkage to me, common for them to seize, just needs taken apart and lubricated - or replace it. I found a DIY guide on here somewhere, will post if I find it.

Thanks for the input. Will give that a go. Oddly, when driving home on Thursday, the wipers wouldn't switch off. I used the wash/wipe function and the wipers stayed on for ages, 5 mins or so. Thanks Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

So, removed the UCH last night and it's a N85 unit. Part number 8200780033. Contacted bba reman this morning and it's not one they can diagnose and fix. I can buy a new unit online for £140, does anyone know anywhere in or close to Glasgow / central Scotland that could code the new UCH? I'd...

Got a price from bba reman yesterday so sending it tomorrow. They charge 35 to test the unit and that's all you pay it can't be fixed. If it can, then it's £135 plus vat. Could do without it but if it fixes the problem it's not the worst bill. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I'm in Bearden mate. You heading up to knockhill in your clio as well, or stick to the bike for the track? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Looks like it. I've emailed bba reman for a price to remanufacture mine. I think that's around £160 from what I've read in other posts. Also considered the rain sensor could be faulty but I get the same problem with the wipers on full speed so think that rules the sensor out. Appreciate the...

To update on my progress, I fitted a new wiper stalk tonight. Had read it caused wiper problems and the trip computer buttons on mine were a bit iffy. Took all of ten minutes to fit, two torque screws under the steering column and a couple of clips on the stalk to release. Sadly, the wiper...

Took the wiper linkage out tonight. Didn't seem to have much corrosion and wasn't too difficult to move but I took it out and got it on the bench (or in my case the kitchen worktop). Followed the guide posted, took the circlip, washers and seal and managed to push the posts out easily enough...
