Re: Rear Brake lights and rear Brakes

Think I read that the one with the sleeve goes on the trailing edge so it depends on caliper orientation on the hub. Cars I’ve had that have been main dealer serviced have had them fitted in either position- so I don’t think it matters. Make sure they’re well greased with the correct grease as these...

Re: strange noise - exhaust side - 2.0 petrol

Re: Rear Brake lights and rear Brakes

The rubbers are just to stop any rattle (vibration) between the caliper and slider. Doesn’t usually matter if they are on top or below. Most cars I’ve worked on have them.

Re: Price Variance

Hi Welcome to forum. In answer to your question it depends a lot on condition of the vechile. Newly imported with a full campervan conversion, fresh underseal, low mileage, cam belt changed etc are at the top end of the price - in some cases beyond the 14k you have seen. They will often have a two y...

Re: Bongo bike rack!

Did you shorten the bolts for the bottom rail clamps? They seem a bit excessive in length.

Re: Bongo bike rack!

Holy thread revival. I fitted the Thule 973 today. Thanks to the photos of the rack on the rear of Muzorewa’s van I was able to count the holes to locate the various bolts in the correct places for a Bongo. Only faff was working around the spoiler and rear mirror. Job done :D

Re: Tough Northerners in Vests: Friday 23 to Sunday 25 March

@Ian Bad news about the Bongo but good news it has looked after you. Hope you are on the mend soon. That's the second we've had recently, wonder if Cutlass has found a replacement?

Re: Abs sensor

Can't help with using one meant for the opposite side, but did you have no luck with any of the breakers? There seems to be quite a few being broken around the country.

There is a fault finding factsheet in the members area. Could just be an adjustment.
