    Rattling Brake Pads

    Take out the breakpads and sit them in a bed of copper grease when you put them pack in. When washing the car with a power washer avoid washing the area where the pads are.

    Does anybody know about these?????? I've search FLEE BAY but no answers

    I think you mean the spring perch. You can get a set of B5 ones and will give you a drop of 10-15mm i think.

    Front/Rear Bumpers

    2: A weak battery will also give the break pad warning light. Keep the break pressed while you start the car.

    Electrical Fault

    Just back from a 100mile spin, No problems to report. I think i'll tackle the door hinge loom and check the connection into the CCM in the passenger side. maybe a little corrosion on the contacts. No one else had this problem ?

    Electrical Fault

    No crash. It happened on a smooth section of the road. Does the CCM host some or all the crash modules ? Would I be correct in assuming I could have a damaged loom heading to the CCM or Door Module. Could all these probs come from the loom at the door hinge ? (I did a small repair there before)

    HIDs Fitted - Not impressed at all!

    Next time i have my headlights out i'll take a picture of the sticker that says D2S/Halogen housings... As for the expert URL , what do you expect if you put a brighter bulb in ? It's still burning between 2 points... And the glass collector (lens) uses refraction to collect all the stray...

    Coming home lights

    So if we were to do this we'd also need to dummy out(short) the diode so the module would think it would be dark all the time, I don't think that matters... |Does it matter which module is used?

    HIDs Fitted - Not impressed at all!

    And why not get a garage to do it for you with a correct lens setter ? The bulbs burning point is the same as a halogen, once the aftermarket bulb is the right length the there should be no problem. Auto-leveling is only done when the car is started or the weight changes, they aren't constanlty...

    HIDs Fitted - Not impressed at all!

    I've seen this argument brought up a 100 times, the housings for both HID and Halogen are the same, the lens is the same (it's acutally stamped both inside the housing) the only difference is the lamp carrier. Once the burning position is correct and the lights correctly set, levelling used and...
