    It's effing raining! I'm not letting that put me off though.
    Best bet is the heat shield underneath mate,if the habdbrake did not alter it then thats out. Been giving it large on a rough track and bent the brake shields, or are they like mine and mostly rusted away??!! Who`s at Chateau D`eau with a smile and a large bottle??!!

    I did have the brakes smoking a while back... on textar pads no less - scared the crap outta myself doing that! Warped much?

    Just about to strip the thing down anyway and have a look, will bend the brake heat shields back while I'm at it!

    One of these days it'll be in a nurburg fit state and I'll get the chance to get across there! Job front is looking a bit dodgy at the moment though, need to sort that out before splashing out on a ring trip!

    90 days redundancy notice for the total fail!

    Loose centre caps, crap in the wheel somewhere.

    Use to live on gravel roads and get little stones caught in the hub caps.

    Probably not your problem but easy to check.

    Okay so it's not the rear brakes, had them in pieces and replaced the pads as they were low enough to warrant throwing a new set on anyway.

    Not had enough time to get it in the air after the drama with the other car this weekend, I've now got self-invited house 'guests' while they wait to get a pump on monday.
