What have you done to your car today?

Vita · 22 Jun 2017 at 12:44

The other side was even worse. What causes the inside to wear like that?

Diagro · 22 Jun 2017 at 13:04

Oh wow, What was the condition of the pads? Looks like the pads were too small or something. (if im correct and that is two wear depths?)

These were on inner side of both discs. Pads were uneven on inner side as well. Not sure what's happened to be fair.

Sounds like an utter headache

Any pics of the gap?

Three lanes - 2 straight, 1 to turn right. An A3 was sticking into my (middle) line a tiny bit and I kept going as I had space. Mazda6 thought differently

What thing?

Mazda 6 loan while my car is in for EML diag. The dealer still hasn't had a look at it (too busy) and the thing is supposed to go back tomorrow and I'm only supposed to have it for 5 days. *sigh*

I can't wait to hear it, there should be vids on their website/facebook page of it soon. My F30 335d was the first in the country to have their duplex system installed

They are doing it free of charge
When I enquired about the system around a month ago they said if they can have my car for 2 weeks to develop and market their system they will do it for free and provide me with a hire car

Akagi · 23 Jun 2017 at 09:21

Thats pretty cool. What hire car did they give you though?

Pretty neat. All the reviews I've read about cobra seem very good and genuine. Even better then milltek. I've just enquired about a system for my car.

66 plate Audi A4 1.4 tfsi
It's a pile of poo but at least I'll love my car more when I get it back

Akagi · 23 Jun 2017 at 11:41

There are worse cars out there though.

Yep could be slower I guess

Mirage · 23 Jun 2017 at 12:38

So, vx passed MOT without any failures on Monday then the X5 goes and throws a pulley. AA recovery, new tensioner pulley & water pump and all will be well. Hopefully.

Why did I buy a (then) 11 year old BMW again?

Nasher · 23 Jun 2017 at 12:55

Because you believed the "German cars are reliable" marketing hype?

Super proud of myself, instead of paying a garage to fit a replacement damper, I gave it a crack myself. 3 hours later after taking my time, no more knocking and a smooth ride.

Going to do the other side on Sunday, should take less time now I know what I am doing. I am a bit annoyed though as I dropped it off at the garage a week ago for replacement top mounts, and I could have saved the money and done it myself.

If anyone knows Clio RS's, they'll know how much of a ******** they are to replace. Hey ho, always learning...
