Re: Rumble from front on full lock, cv/bearings or both

Thanks for the reply. Got my head/ears thinking about the diff between rumble/crunching :) but yeah thanks I'll hang fire on buying outer/inner cv's (ouch) till I let a mechanic recommended here say one way or the other.

Rumble from front on full lock, cv/bearings or both

Hi, just almost passed 1st mot, failed on o/s front wheel bearing (phew), seriously didn't know what I was going to get. Thing is I've had a little rumble (very faint) last 5000 miles (from the front somewhere) so I've been waiting for it to get louder to pin point it but its only lately it makes th...

Re: Brake pedal and caliper stay on until clutch released ?

Brake pedal and caliper stay on until clutch released ?

Hi, was wondering if anyone has had this problem or can help narrow down what is wrong. Basically the brake pedal stays down until either releasing the clutch or putting my toe under the pedal and moving it up. They're not fully locked but enough to stop the van moving on a slight incline. Also a bi...
