Re: Brake pads disintegration

Sounds like one part of the caliper is not retracting, I would have a good look at its operation, clean and lubricate if required.  Maybe worth posting a couple of images. Just to add was there a noticeable drop in fluid at the reservoir. No drop in fluid, will check over calipers. Already seen no ...

Brake pads disintegration

Just inspected front pads, late model sliding caliper, to find that the outer pad both sides of van has completely disintegrated down to the back plate,  while the inner pads still have plenty left, is this common, or an indication of a problem with the calipers? Already ordered new discs and pads.

Zig X2

Anyone got any experience with a zig X2 unit, not sure if leaving it on will boil the battery or if it will shut off automatically, if anyone has the manual that would be great also.
Thanks

I noticed that the large allan key grub screw/drain plug, on the bottom has grease being forced out around it, can I undo it and put more in or is it dead?
If so what sort?

Re: Rear trailing arm bush fitting

I have done this using a modified hobby vise and 32mm socket and fitted new powerflex bushes, my question is should I have done up the bolts weight on wheels,I did get the bolts in the same place but I did it with the trailing arms not hanging free but only slightly jacked up.

Re: exhaust fitting

It's the flange and tubing I can't get off, not the studs themselves.
My next step is to take the water pipe off the pump see if I get more room :?

Re: exhaust fitting

It's a1.9dg I believe it's a standard exhaust. It's undone and moving I just can't get it back over the studs.

Re: exhaust fitting

I have a leaking gasket rear left hand side, I've undone the nuts easily, also the nuts at the union where all the pipes join. However I can't get the pipe to slide far enough off the studs, any help would be good.
Thanks

Re: Handbrake warning light?

Should say I traced it back to the fitting that holds the handbrake warning light.
There is an empty space above the light, do any versions use that for something?
