Creamy handbrake / rear brakes when parked
If anyone is interested, I have just cured mine. Rear discs off, cleaned up & refitted. Pads cleaned off & assembled up with Mintex Cera Tec & refitted pads. Still original discs & pads. The wetter weather seemed to exasperate the problem with the noise.

Creamy handbrake / rear brakes when parked
It's worth checking the inside face of the disc. The outside face you can see through the wheel spokes, but inside face no. If you have a rough inside face, then that can be the problem, as the pad will also be rough.

WOW; our Yeti is eight years old.
I still keep asking myself, why do I want to change? Just holding back from a new car till after the budget & new year. But, more than likely going to go for a Yaris Cross, or maybe a Vitara. But I think Suz now have dropped the auto? Need to return to auto and what with cutting down the mileage drastically. We have never kept a car this long, max has always been 3 yrs.. Plus, just need a change while we can.

Best engine for the Yeti
Just over 200 miles at the weekend 62.7mpg. But as Prezafab says, lots of motorway roadworks. 2.0 TDi 110

a horrible noise coming from my Yeti...
First thought was timing chain. Also check to see if it's coming from the alternator. Engine off. To the left of the oil filter, the drive belt runs the alternator, check pulley & check for movement.

How old is your battery? If you have a volt meter time to test it out.

Fuel gauge, stuck on m/t and full.
We had that a few years ago. Just looked at the report...I reported it back in Feb 2020, one month still left in warranty. Fortunately I had reported this fault whilst still under warranty. At the time, they said they did a (Software update) to the fuel gauge/fuel pump. Then of course it started doing the same again. (December 2020). The report stated, Found bent pins on fuel pump. New fuel pump fitted. This time it was replaced under the warranty, as I had already reported it. So it could be possible that you have the same problem???

Don't forget to check the voltage of the camera. You may need one of these.. CPT voltage converter Plus a piggy back fuse. All fit neatly in the fuse box area.

In need of assistance
Look on Ebay Norway Take the front wheel off & check to see if you have 3 or 4. Then send message to supplier to make sure they send correct one.

WOW; our Yeti is eight years old.
Yes logiclee, same here. We are not using ours anywhere near what we were. Thinking of going to a little smaller car & so far having a problem what to get. Been looking at a new Yaris cross hybrid or a new shape Vitara hybrid. But they are certainly not a Yeti replacement.

Excessive Vibrations at between 1500 - 2000rpm under load
"Though it is much improved, should I Be worried?" Tony, it sounds to me like you are in too high a gear. Modern Diesels need to be driven like Petrol engines, so go up through the gears with more rpm.. As you are finding the "problem" at 1500-2000rpm increase the rpm at bit more. Try it out then give us a report back.

Luv out light on trailer module and reverse
Hi Yeti73 First thing I would try is.... Bad connection either in cars tow bar socket, or trailer socket. Good idea to check as you may have corroded terminals, maybe could do with a clean up. Remove wires from socket one at a time, check clean refit.

Paris to Dakar (and back)- oil cleaner in petrol tank, problems in high gears…
Hi, welcome to the Yeti club. Off the top of my head after reading your story, I would suggest if not already done, change the fuel filter. If you have had some water in the tank, it will want to stay there. If possible, drain down tank, when the fuel level is as low as you can get. Be interesting to know how you get on.

Well I never......
Now this one looks a little bit newer... Brand new, never ridden. It's great for pottering too. Gardeners love them.

So what is your interest rate?

Oil leak
Could be the drive shaft CV seals in gearbox. Clean up the arias as best you can where the driveshafts enter the gearbox, , then check it again in two days. Also check gearbox oil level. Failing that, it could be rear engine main oil seal. But clean up first.

Rattle from front of yeti
You will need to get underside to check it out. But this might help...... These have a small ball joint either end & can sometimes give a rattle like noise. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aq59j-B6Po Or Top Suspension mounts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MClb8USuvs Of course it might not be any of these, but could be the sleeping policeman you ran over...😉
