A few questions.

Right, just a couple of quick questions about my car (1.4 SRi Corsa

)

The brakes: They're making a faint "krrkrrrrrrrkrkrrrrrr" noise when I apply pressure, although its got louder recently. I assume something wants changed there then? New brake pads? Not doing this myself, I would rather prefer to stop.

Airbox: Its making an odd sucking noise. Its pretty buggered tbh, has a crack in it, and the filter is filthy. The front pipe intake thingy is falling off too, but that just wants a screw put in. I guess I want to be replacing the filter? or should I just pull the lot out, and stick an Induction Kit in? Seems like a simple job either way, and something I could do....I'm just not sure what parts I require. Can anyone help?

Exhaust: The part where the exhaust backbox meets the centre pipe, is right above the bar that connects the two back wheels. (I can get a photo later if it would help) Now when I go over a bump, say a speedbump for example, the two bang together. How can I sort this out? Its doing my head in, as it keeps knocking off the backbox, which needs re-attaching every two weeks or so. Thankfully its easy to do.

Looks like if you don't want to do it yourself you are going to need to book it into a garage.

The box having a crack in it wont be doing anything really if it's infront of the filter so it doesnt allow any bits to get past it. A new filter would do if the box can hold it's structure etc. An induction kit really isnt worth it in my opinion.

Just the brakes. The other two are probably do-able by me.

Yeah, its just in front of the filter. So, simple fix is just to slap in a new panel filter? anyone know what K&N one I need?

Yea, none. Just get a normal one from a motor factors.
