Unfortunately as I'...

Re: Clutch help

Re: Loud humming when heavy braking

No to ABS there's no kick back at all and both abs rings were replaced 6 weeks ago for PSV. Pads are well worn now after a look. I take it I'm looking at new discs and pads then. This taxi life is so hard!!! :roll:

Loud humming when heavy braking

Hi all, I've notice over the past couple of weeks that under heavy braking on occasion my brakes are humming quite loudly. This is not something I can show anyone as its extremely intermittent.

Re: Electric drivers seat rewiring

Thanks for the help guys really appreciated, I'll get a proper look on Tuesday and let you all know how I get on. As for the speed, yeah the cars running like a dream.

Anyway ended up in a 406 after the timing belt on my dear old V70 broke causing uneco...
