  1. pads look fine bu the disc on the side facing the car has a lip of rust around the top, were it isnt being touched by the pads. I'm due to go to DG a week friday to put new disc and bearings on the fronts but might put that off till next month and get them on the back insted.
  2. I saw a Black Audi RS4 under cover cop car today, pulled over a 2 CV by my work in Gloucester :lol: So watch out for one of them any one driving around Gloucester
  3. In the last couple of days I've noticed my rear left brake getting very hot which causes the rim to get hot as well. ( CazzaVR will agree, as he has felt it) I took the wheel off this weekend to have a look, couldn't see anything wrong with it so re greased all the relevant parts with copper grease. But still getting hot today. :( Also I've noticed in the last week or so that when I lift off the brake pedal after pressing it down all the way there is a squeak coming from that side of the car. The brakes do feel slightly spongy and not as good as they could be. Would it be a good idea to get a new caliper on there? OR any other ideas Thanks in advance
  4. Looks good Lovely colour, all ways love the way mine looks on a garage court at night 8)
  5. Cheers, it was hot. When I got home It was rather hot so I put a little snow on it and it just hissed at me :eek: Couldnt see anyting wrong with it when I took the wheel off. So gave it a clean and put copper grease on the relevent parts. It seamed to be all fine after a quick spin earlyer. Will see what it does on the way to work tomorow Managed to free up the slider on the other side too, had some fun with a blow torch to free it up :norty: Used the new stands today but the anoying thing is, the trolly jack lifts the car about 1inch to short for me to get the axle stands in :epicfail: But a block of wood sorted that out :D

  7. Sorted out a seized rear slider today, with FIRE :nuts: Hopefully my brakes will work better now :D
  8. The exact words were: 'That black car is really nice' :lol: Shhhhhhh 8) Like I said something along thos lines
  9. We have tryed removing any air in the system and so far both radiator hoses are hot as they should be. But the pipes to the heatter matrix are half hot half cold. they go from hot to cold when the pipes bend upwards. Its the same with both pipes. Still no hot air coming through the vents
