I didn't do then you cheeky baxtered! Garage did them when it got mot'd

[Michael!]

sooo... i think its the rear passenger disk rubbing!

it looks like its rusted over where it wasnt in use by the old pads? if you get me, so could that cause the rubbing noise?

[dontpannic]

What? Wasn't in use by the old pads? If that's the case you've got a shagged calliper as there will always be contact when braking.

[Michael!]

no i mean the contact with the old pad? you can see where the old pads made contact but its only like 50% of the disc?
so the outer of the disk has a rusty sort of build up and is rubbing on the new pads?

EDIT:

discs looks similar to this...

and the new pads cover the whole surface area of the disc, so could that be the rubbing?

[- Danny Boy -]

Any light rust should come off with a bit of braking, if its thick on there you might want to get some new discs. I don't know why the garage didn't mention it to be fair.. But yeah, that's more than likely the problem

[Michael!]

Well at first the garage did the mot and failed it on rear braking effiency and the pads being excessivly worn - even though i gave them a set of brand new pads and told them to change them prior to the mot - so going by that im not surprised they didnt mention it.

wont be going back there next year, they wernt bad or anything, that just stood out as being stupid, and obviously with the condition of the rear discs you'd think it would have been an advisory, ill get a proper picture of them and you'll see. as ive checked and the build up is quite thick.

[jonyb4]

when you fitted new pads you didnt fit new brakes? lol wut?

[Michael!]

have you read anything i typed properly?

[jonyb4]

mate as hard as it is to understand your paragraphs, yeah but i didnt see this page


tbh its scary that you modify cars, you know little about them


my advice, go back to the garage ask them to change the discs and with luck depending how long you've had the new pads things will even out, pads are far softer then the discs after all

but theres no way you should be replacing just pads when your discs look like that, must be a bunch of clowns not to inform you of that

[sam-si]

tbh its scary that you modify cars, you know little about them

its scarey that you put a exhaust on top of your car jony¬!

[jonyb4]

Hahah really was

[Michael!]

What has my car getting mot'd and me not being informed of the discs have to do with me modifying cars?

I never touch my cars unless I know 100% what to do - I don't Bodge my s**t together with dodgy soldering and bubbles wrap.

And I had no idea the discs were like that hence my disgust at the fact I was advised by the mot station.
Jony we've had this out before - keep your s**t comments to yourself mate because it causes arguments.



It's only you who finds it difficult because you're a welshy

[jonyb4]

arguments arise because your a tool

[Michael!]

No - the only arguments I have ever had on this site har been caused by you thinking you can say what you want then getting on the defensive about it when someone challenges you.

Pm me if you're sad enough to carry it on AGAIN dont clog up this thread anymore

[sam-si]

arguments arise because your a tool

now i don't mind the welsh.... but then i don't mind tools.....

which one is best? theres only one way to find out!

...

RACE!

[jonyb4]

as you wish mike

he asks for help, you give it he cries

[Michael!]

I didn't cry dickhead.

When you give advice you're not ment to be-little the person first.

[jonyb4]

cant help it, your such an easy target

[Ratspeed]

Seriously guys, I leave you guys alone for a day and this happens!

[Michael!]

Will 13" minilites fit over 256mm brakes? im 75% sure ive seen it done.

could it happen with a bit of caliper grinding? or will they just go over?

the guy im buying off was confident he had them on a lupo sport which is the same set up as my polo.


help please

[Gus!!]

Could you not test fit them?? I think polo steels are 13" standard so??

[Michael!]

they are iirc but only on 8v's as their brakes are 239mm, im hoping the will if not ill sell and get some different ones - theyre a bargain and cant say no.


i cant test fit as it takes 20 mins to get the jack under my car haha, dont want to waste the guys time.

[Gus!!]

Ah well what you do, is you get one person to operate the jack, and one to lift up the car by the wheel arch!! minilites would be good, also the polo would be stupidly low!!

[Michael!]

i think it would look pimp

[jonyb4]

with fords atleast, 260mm brakes need a min of 14s, even then its quite tight, my car is testament to this

[Michael!]

you see i thought this. the 14's i have on atm have plenty of space + the guy has sent me pictres of them on his lupo which has the same set up as mine... so as far as im aware they'll fit.

if they dont i may have to invest in a 266mm hi spec brake set up

[Michael!]

Bought some things to tidy it up...

[jonyb4]

minilites have always been more at home on a British car imo

the offset will make an impact weather they clear the brakes too

clocks look good, GTi?

[Michael!]

Yeah the clocks are off a gti, if they don't fit I'm selling!

[sam-si]

whats happening to them old wheels in the garage then? the baby blue ones?

[Michael!]

They're getting polished up and have new tyres

[sam-si]

They're getting polished up and have new tyres

but you just brought this set? or you keeping one set for spares?

[Rhinopower]

They wont fit, they need coding to the ecu and keys as thats where the transponder is coded to. If you post them to me i can remove the coding so they just plug in and work but it will cost you.

[jonyb4]

your in the wrong trade ry

sales is where you belong

[Michael!]

They fit and work fine except for the temp display...


I think you're thinking of 9n's? As I beleive the immobiliser is in the clocks on that model Ryan?
