That is so true. Back in the day with my first car, and with our other family cars we would always be tinkering under the bonnet and checking that everything was working. These days with modern cars they are largely a lot more reliable and certainly a ton more complicated. We expect them to...

OK. Ta. BTW I think you have your nappies and nipples mixed. :clap: Not a nice issue to have. :crazy:

That may be true mate. However, its a poor decision not to fit Stainless pistons to these calipers. It would have cost a little more (pence) sure, but the warranty claims due to rusty mild steel units are going to make the decision a bad one. The more regular fluid flushing/changing you mention...

Yep. That looks about right order of magnitude. Two brake calipers + pads etc is going to be about the £1200 I was told by my dealer. Then there's the price of fitting/bleeding etc on top. Interested in why the two part number and why the different costs. They are both Fronts from what I can...

lol. Well - not really mate. They replaced them like-for-like. So strictly speaking they are the property of the Warranty company. But they were asked I am told by my dealer, and didn't want them back. The thought of flogging them on has crossed my mind, but I will hold on to them any maybe...

Just done some further digging - to see why I may have had a failure: To all R owners out there. Maybe time to renew your extended warranty if you haven't already. :eusa-think: ;) I spoke to Godspeedbrakes. They are very aware of the Pug sport calipers fitted to our car, and they have seen many...

Nope - no explanation TBH, when they said they was going to let me have the old set for free, I didn't want to get into protracted conversations and just get the 'ell out of there before they changed their minds. I don't think its down to the low mileage - as I use her every day. So its not like...

Lo there. Last week my 4 yr old R failed the MOT because of sticking front calipers. This after only 22.8k miles!! - and also having previously had the disks replaced under warranty. This explained a lot, as I was having slight understeer followed by a boot full of lift-off oversteer mid...

Still looking around. There is a place near Leicester that may have a go, although they are currently scratching their heads on this. I'll let you know if they are prepared to take on the challenge when I have the replacement wheels on. The issue is they can diamond cut the kerbed section, but...

Well I have gone and sourced via Fleabay a set of 19" Pug "Technical" wheels/tyres as fitted to the GT's as standard. While the inner diameter is fine - as you say the offset is the issue. I knew it would be - but the degree is what concerned me. The distance from the Alcon caliper to the...

Lo there. Anyone know if the standard 19" alloys (as below) will fit my RCZ-R. I can borrow some (from someone some way away) but want to know if they will clear the R 380mm discs and calipers. Plus what is the offset on these?

Yeah, I read that too. I'll mention it when I see mech.

Good advice mate. Will do. Ta

Thanks. I thought so, but you never know unless you ask.

Just on driver's side. Issue apparent inside and out. Mech not checked anything thus far.

Yes, I thought of that, but he wants to prod around when it's broke. He knows that this can happen and has seen it before, but said he needs the car broke to be able to diagnose. He has agreed to leave the ticket at this point. I can vid yes, but it would be even more useful if my OBD2 could...

OK, fair comment Bruce. I agree they SHOULD be able to diagnose and maybe I was being too generous to the chief Mech I spoke to. But intermittent electrical faults are notoriously difficult to diagnose, unless its bleeding obvious. So in my case I am happy to help with the diagnosis if it...

Hi, I have a 2014 'R', and been having intermittent issues with the window drop when opening/closing my Driver side door. On occasion it does not work, meaning I have to slam the door to close it fully - not ideal and a little worrying. Its been cold and frosty on previous mornings, and I had...

So my 'R' will coming to the fateful 3yr/MOT point Feb next year. At this point haven't had a quote for the servicing/MOT/bit'n'bobs from the main dealer, but I am toying with whether to go independent. I have a local Pug garage I have always used, and while not disappointed with them I...

Noticed after a service I have a partial collapse too to my rear offside. Annoyed with myself (after my jacking point history) for not properly seeing this. By coincident my car was also run by the dealers manager before I got it and had previously had alloy repairs, hence previous damage...
