I got new discs and pads at the same time. Going back on Friday if its still happening happening and they'll strip them to find the problem.

If that's the case it might be a real pain as I have to do a 200 mile journey back to my home this Friday, I doubt the garage will have a clue about what needs filed Down.

Hey just an update, got the new calipers fitted and they just decreased the sliders and said it was working fine. I jacked the car up when I got home and the rear wheels still have a bit of resistance, I can only get about 1 revolution, 2 tops when I spin. I took it for a small drive, I didn't...

I have no doubt they are indeed milking money, but I don't have the knowledge to fix it myself. But my brakes are now sticking (causing excessive heat) so I can't do long journeys.... Which is required. I ordered the two calipers, they say is the description to send your Reg so they can cross...

Hey Freddo, I'm sorry, it a saloon. I don't know why the link came out as an eBay.com one, but its from Carfactors Uk. It seems cheap £95 for a pair of rear calipers. They said the reason it will need new sliders is because they heated the old one to open them and they said the seals which...

Also, I hope to get both the sliders and calipers ordered ASAP as I need to drive home (200 miles) this coming Friday and currently cannot.

Hey Block, Did you find a replacement? Just had my rear right caliper seize and I intend on changing both.

Hey guys, My 05 2.2 diesel was due new discs so I went ahead and got all 4 sets of discs and pads replaced. When I went to collect it the guys at the garage told me the rear calipers were done and need replacing along with new sliders. At this point their looking me to fork out 400 quid...

Hey, There's really not much of an oily smell off the fumes, not overly diesel either. The ignition at times seems to 'choke' which is the best way to describe it, its normally only of it chokes will it spit out the smoke which I ***ume the choking in oil entering the combustion chamber and...

Here's an example of the smoke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4jqvgJ0Ts4

I say blue, it's got a slight blue tint and it's not every start up, or even every cold start up. Most of the time there's nothing. I just ***umed it was wear and tear on the turbo, and perhaps the same for why it's chewing oil lately, as I've bee doing 2 x 200mile motorway journeys most...

Hey guys, Bought my 2005 2.2 about 1 year ago, the first few months not a drop of oil was used, then all of a sudden it just seemed to turn thirsty. I had the car serviced 4 weeks ago, covered nearly 2k miles since then and it seems to had drank (or leaked) the best part of a litre of oil...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the turbo somewhat relies on back pressure created by the cat so by removing it you may increase wear on your turbo. Also the lack of back pressure could disrupt a remap meaning that you mightn't get the performance you would with a cat in place. As for...

Hey guys, Just looking for ways I could improve how the diesel accord sounds. I am likely to be fitting a Type-S body which has cutouts for a dual exhaust, although id be wary of fitting a larger exhaust on this for multiple reasons. One being that it will possibly make it sound like a...

Does the horn work? If not it could be the slip ring, mine went. But as said, only way to know is read the error code.

I only get it with the key in ignition, engine not running. Turns off when engine starts.

That's what I thought, but I was almost certain it never used to be present before ignition. Perhaps I was wrong.

I'll disconnect the battery to see as I don't have an OBD reader. It's an 05, pre-facelift.

Hey, Yesterday I had my car parked while in reverse gear, forgot to take it out of gear before starting the ignition, obviously the car jumps and I immediately realised. When I took it out of gear and tried again I noticed of all the dashboard lights the Check Engine, Oil pressure and battery...

Side lights aren't even a legal requirement, so they could be blown and you'd still pass MOT. I bought a wee cheep pair from ebay after two going on me within the first 2 months of owning the car and I haven't had any issues with them.
