Yeh very common problem pumps are getting cheaper around £350-£400 but there is a guy on eBay who’s doing a refurb service for considerably less and he has very good feedback.
There is an instance when the unit can overheat due to the blanking caps for the heating pipe work coming adrift under the interior trim panels.
If you haven’t tried an update it’s worth doing.
Yes I get that the offset is odd, I thought the custom work wouldn’t come cheap though.
I do like the sortilage wheels but I went for aftermarket just to look different 👍
Easier than you think there’s a how to guide on the forum if you do a search.
It’s really a two man job so you don’t clatter the bonnet and you have to pull up from the roof outwards and start at the front and work backwards using your fingers to pry off the clips refitting start from the rear...
That’s some awesome work there, I’m surprised your not getting any running of the wheel arch liners on full lock as there’s not a lot of clearance on stock.
One question though wouldn’t it have been cheaper and maybe easier going for bigger aftermarket alloys?
A mate of mine has mentioned there’s a product that you can water down and it’s safe to spray on your brakes after washing that stops your brakes from rusting. I’ll try and get the name of it.
Hi, I get the seized pads scenario regularly after washing and leaving a few days the solution is to take the car for a quick spin after washing just a mile or so around my village is enough just enough to dry the brakes off.
As for the grinding and pads clonking can be attributed to low miles...
