what have you done to your car today ?

[Gabster]

got brake checked..... move out the fing way you .... Bahh! Hate them people!


My mate hit a deer with his Leon, airbags never opened. Good brakes and good tires prevented a much harder hit.
I think airbags are for much more serious cases, well less thing to replace.

Travelling too close then? One of my hates is people who do this

Brake checking is so ridiculous but I can understand why people might feel the need, despite its dangers.

The deer incident sounds brutal aha, glad it's not too bad!

Failed my MOT for a rough riding rear wheel bearing

Also advisories for rear damper and front discs and pads but the bearing is gonna rob me £130 to get replaced before my retest so just gonna get that done for now and do the discs/pads myself when I get chance.

Rear bearings are really easy to DIY change, I do mine in about 45 mins easy now as ive had to do so many
Actaul bearings with hub is only about £50 if you wanted to save some money

 

[dgjdrummer]

I always thought they were a pain because you need a bearing puller thingy to do them?

Work wise I could handle it as I've managed a full turbo swap by myself but it's the cost/tools that would hold me back. That and my MOT expires Friday...oops!

 

[Ronin225]

Mine have all come off easily, just remove all the braking parts and undo hub nut
Swift blow with a hammer will remove hub leaving only inner race on stub axle which ive always managed to tap off with a screwdriver/chisel

Found out I have a swimming pool in the rear footwell and a matching small water feature in the drivers footwell. Time to order some bits...

Replaced a split PCV hose under the inlet manifold, was causing a "bank too lean" code the last couple of days.

i am, thanks mate. i was at a roundabout, stationary and the guy next to me in the right hand lane pull off and turns and the back of his flatbed crashes into my door mirroe, wing and bumper, pulling out my headlight.

 

[dgjdrummer]

It's the inconsiderate/oblivious drivers that are the scariest, after driving 10 hours down to Canterbury and back yesterday I saw a few near misses that would have been ugly if anything had happened....

Glad you're ok though and hope you can get the car sorted or at least get a good valuation from that guy's insurance!

Fitted ferodo ds2500 pads with pagid discs.

Still need to lower her on ST/KW 50/40 springs then I will get a full geometry alignment and finally fit the eagle f1's I've had sat in my study for the past month.
