as you have a sticker in the window

Thanks for all your advice guys, I really have appreciated the help :thumleft: I fitted the re-con caliper today, & it's running fine so far. I'm taking the 10 month old re-con caliper I got fitted in Jan back to the parts shop for them to send off to be tested to see if its at fault. I've taken...

Well I got the new discs & pads on today (drivers side only) & guess what.................... I think it's the caliper thats at fault, as when I rewound the bottom piston it was pretty stiff. The top one wound back no problem, but the lower piston was tougher to wind back. Anyway, I plugged ...

I got it now, I miss read your earlier reply. I thought you said take the wheel off the car & get it balanced

Thanks soo much for all your replies guys. I've got new pads on there already. They're not even 2 months old & were replaced on the MOT renewal date. I've just looked through the F/S/H I got with the car & it appears the discs were skimmed back in 2004 @ 63997 miles. There doesn't appear to ...

It's not the sliders or caliper. They have been checked 3 times now for this very reason. I'm going with the discs are fooked, so I'll be looking for a decent set of discs....... Any suggestions on where to get stock discs at a good price? Toyota will just bend me over & rape me...twice. :roll: ...

Warped discs Raise the front of the car. Spin the wheels. If the discs are warped then the pads will catch on the discs for only part of the circumference. If this were the case you would feel a vibration/juddering when you braked progressively from higher speeds - say 60mph + You've never mentione...

Well, here's the latest update. The knocking from the front has completely stopped. I was coming home the other day & it sounded as though something had fallen off my car as I heard something hit the underside when driving along. I've had the garage look over it & they couldn't see anything ...

The O/S/F caliper is a new re-con item & only 8 months old. The piston can't surely be coroded :? My mechanic had a look at the piston & confirmed that they are moving freely & said it must be the sliders. No heat in the rear wheel. It's recently had it's MOT, so if it was a bearing I th...

Well I booked the car into my local garage for it's MOT in Sept & to check the O/S/F caliper. Passed it's MOT, but needed new front pads :mad: which royally pi$$ed me off as the pads were only 6 months old. All was rosy, but the wheel has started to heat up AGAIN & it's really p1$$ing me off...

Ahh, right I got ya. I do think that it was only the caliper that was exchanged/fitted & not the carrier section. When I looked at the calipers when they were fitted I noticed that the caliper looked shiner than the carriers. I'll have a look on Tues/Wed/Thurs as thats when I'm off next. Whats t...

Carrier :?: Care to elaborate a little there Allan :thumleft: Do you mean the sliders :?: :? I do normally give these things a go TVIS Kid. I changed the rear caliper & pads myself, with no problems. When it came to bleeding the brakes, I thought I had done it right, but the brakes just didn't f...

Yeah the caliper was a recon item on an exchange basis for my old one. I've contacted my mechanic, Greg, & if it is a faulty caliper he said it can be exchanged for another one free of charge. I didn't know I could get them off here for £50 :mad: I paid about £100 each for the exchanged calipers...

Good evening guys & gals. Well not so good for me actually :roll: These darn brakes are playing up again. All on a UK 1995 Rev 3. Back at the start of the year I was noticing horrible wobble & vibration through the steering wheel while driving at around 60-80 mph. When stopped driving I chec...

But have you seen a tubby engine cover, in Caribbean blue on Ebay 'cos I haven't, but then I've not really been looking for one

Thanks for your reply Razor. I've gone for the 'pikey' look at the moment & I'll have to make up a rain shield during the week out of some thin metal sheeting or something to that effect.

Thanks again,

Richard

Afternoon guys, hope you're all having a good weekend :thumleft: I've noticed this issue I'm having with my UK rev 3 N/A. It only happens when the weather has been really wet. Dry, she drives perfecto :thumleft: The car starts fine no problem, but when driving between 2500 & 3500 rpm, the car wi...

Didn't get the alloys in the end. I think I'll keep an eye out for 17's
