So I’ve clearly been a bad person in a former life.
I finally got the right rear discs and pads and all fitted along with a new calliper and hose. Took the cap off the reservoir and it dropped d ... |

Interesting. I was never a fan of it, but wondered if it was meant to be there and it was a battery issue (shouldn’t be as the battery is new) - I had that in the old car.
Had assumed every manu ... |

Random one - my old TD4 manual (2010) had start/stop. My 2014 SD4 auto SE doesn’t seem to have a start/stop button nor does the engine ever stop as would be expected if start/stop was there.

Neighbour popped round this morning while
I was at work and sprayed some penetrating fluid on (I had messaged him to ask if he had any). So that sat f ... |

One last question - do you know if these are the correct discs? If they are I’d be better getting them and the pads from ECP at the weekend and accept no car tomorrow.

Cheers. I’ve fitted the discs and have found they have a lip on the inside which is stopping one carrier getting on properly. I’m assuming wrong disks as well.

Thanks all. I’ll get some better fluid and heat. Will also try removing the coating on the pipe as suggested.
Will keep you posted. |
