Dash mounted 'dials'!!

Postby Smiler » Tue Nov 16, 2004 10:20 pm

Evening all!

Two things.....where is the best place to get a dash mounted boost gage, etc.....I am sure someone once mentioned you can get one that goes where the clock is????

Second....my breaks are squeeking.....but the car was only checked over a month ago??? They sound as if one is a bit loose??

Any input greatly appreciated!

Ta very much!

If your brakes are the WR1 Brembos i think everyones do it, i know mine do! :roll: They seem worse when i'm reversing.

The Defi gauges are the most popular ones at the moment. I was trying to drum up some interest for a group buy a little while ago.

I was told my brakes threw up a error code at about 3000 miles.

But never was told what he problem was, there werent making any noises though

Are the brakes controlled by an ECU? Where would they get that info from?
Very worrying, they might be able to tell if they overheated, on track say and Void the warranty.

your brakes are probably squeeking due to brake dust, no its annoying but nothing to woory about

and if the disks were warped due to overheating then the warrenty would argue that theyre perishable items and you should be more symphathtic. Only if there was a crack due to design fault or similar would they be replaced imo

The calipers move slightly when reversing. Nothing to worry about just irritating.

Thanx all!

My mind is now at ease.....I can now rag to my hearts content, safe in the knowledge that I can accelerate to stupid speeds (and stop!) between traffic lights....it is 'great' living in London (he said with a hint of sarcasm!)!

:x
