markssupra Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Ed, I hav'nt used Westfield myself, but Afennel (Adam) used to and I believe Zap uses them. But it looks like there are a few in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chumpalot Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hope you guys don't mind if i top this thread, saves making a new one. I'm after a decent garage in Essex too, have taken Redline's details and will give them a call as they're not too far away from me. Don't fancy going to TDI really, too expensive and they've fed me crap before. My speedo conversion is going haywire and it's effecting my power steering. I've also had that strange noise come back from the nearside rear wheel. Car sounds a little 'tappety' on startup too. Who do you use?

I've also had that strange noise come back from the nearside rear wheel. Car sounds a little 'tappety' on startup too. Who do you use? Is it that scraping sound, wasn't it your disc stone guard/backing plate? You sure your pads are ok, the pad wear warning shim can start marking noises when there's quite a bit of meat left on them.

Guest Chumpalot Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I took it to Elite and they originally said it was the backing plate yes, however the sound has come back and now only happens when the weight of the car shifts to the left (ie making a right turn) and when I go over bumps. Sounds like it's all falling apart I'm going to get the pads replaced to eliminate that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Boy Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 thought they were in Barking?? there 2seconds away from me Yup they're behind B&Q's next to Ikea in the unit with Big Boys Toys, HSS hire shop etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get any rumbling sort wheels out of balance noises when driving at reasonable speed? Not sure what classic symptoms on Supe are cos i haven't had any of mine go yet. Try jacking up that corner and seeing if you can rock the wheel/hub assembly with your hands at 12 and 6'o'clock positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
