Rear brakes
has any one had problem in getting after market brakes for there cars at all? Ive asked the garage i use to supply and fit ebc brake pads front and rear. Fronts have gone on no problems at all. How ever the rears are the problem. They managed to get the right sized disc but they were saying where the wheel bolts on to the disc that part is to small! Any one had any problems at all?

Strange engine noise.
Not sure. The car was standing at the time with the engine running. One of the lads I’m works with heard it as well from his car and he had the windows up at the time. The noise went in time with the engine. Ie I reved the engine and the strange noise went with it !

Strange engine noise.
Here’s one for you lot. My car made a very strange noise while at work. The best way to describe it it sounds like a metal scrapeing against plastic. Drive down the road and it cleared it self. The engine now sounds normal again. It’s the 2 litre diesel and a 19 plate. Any one got any ideas at all ?
