    Ok, here's the issue,. My near side front is braking more than normal, more brake dust, can feel it bite quicker than drivers side front, here's the thing, the off side rear isn't applying fully and I've got good reason to think the cause is the brake pipe leading to the caliper, it's twisted...

    Rear calipers being a ****

    Alright folks, having issues with my drivers side rear caliper, it won't wind back easily, the passenger one is fine. If I pumped the peddle while the pads are out just a little do you reckon it will unstick enough to wind it back? Just to note, the handbrake adjuster is free

    Anyone on here know their way around an RS TUNER?

    Done some logs, what I've noticed is there is an increased number of knock counts not on WOT but it's concerning, I've changed exhaust and it'll be getting mapped to suit but I'd like it if I could send a couple of logs to someone who's in the know so they can have a quick glance? Also the rev...

    Problems after changing gearbox oil

    As above, I changed my gear oil when I serviced my 197, went for oe spec, possibly better choices out there as I may have discovered.
