my 1991 NA has no cat

try winding the caliper in/out several times - this loosened mine right up and they have stayed loose - woth a try before you swap the caliper

I HAVE FIXED IT!!!

simple solution as well, although im not sure why it worked, but it did

I moved the 0v (gnd) wire I had going straight to battery onto a chassis bolt near the battery tray

GRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhhhhh Spent the last 3 days doing a full audio rewire on my car. New cables direct from every speaker, new head unit (no seperate amp) and im getting alternator whine :( I have bought, and fitted an inline "power noise filter" whi...

brake light switch stuck on ?


try pressing and releasing the brake pedal vigoriously a few times

insulation tape on the outside around the jets (to protect the paint)

then clamp a mole grip on the jet and twist / wiggle / destroy it till it comes off ?


EDIT:

scratch that - a single stick of dynamite carefully located would get them off

the original (and most aftermarket) ones are held in place by opposing plastic springy clip things underneath , usually a case of compressing them with pliers or wiggling with a screwdriver to pop them free.

Perhaps yours are glued on ?

just an update - the pads are now fully bedded in and my god - the brakes are freaking superb

assuming, like me you have not upgraded your discs and calipers to the larger rev2+ ones, I HIGHLY reccomment the following Discs - full set front + rear from ebay about £70 total front pads - Mintex MDB1498 M1144 from camskill - £100 rear pads - Diamond black predator - larkspeed.co.uk - £38 RECON ...

its heating up because of the current draw - those fans pull a lot of juice. You will need a larger guage cable from the 12v source all the way to the fans to avoid the fire potential! Stereo amp power cable would do the trick and is readily available at low cost, or pop into a branch of maplin ans ...

surely if it was for de-icing the TB then it would not work until the engine is warm anyway? the small amount of coolant held in there when the engine is off for a while wont stop the TB icing if its cold and it wont help fith fuel atomisation either until the engine is hot, at which point the rest ...

Here are the results of my full Geometry alignment from this afternoon as well I dont have the "before" printout, but this is how it ended up. The front right castor could not be adjusted any more, and was literally right on the threshold filcking between red and green, the alignment guy s...

got the front mintex pads from my local factors, special order - ended up the same price as camskill got the rear black diamond pads from larkspeed :thumleft: went out for a blast tonight, they are effing superb :mrgreen: and i dont think the fronts are fully bedded in yet either - got them really h...

technically im not sure, but over time they would have slowly "moudled" themselves to match the geometry of your car, so it might drive a bit weird

today the nice postman delivered my new brake pads....after always having standard road pads (ebc cheap rubbish) i decided to splash out a little and buy some good stuff. I didnt have a massive budget so got the best I could afford and ended up with FRONT - Mintex M1144 REAR - Black Diamond Predator...

heathen! rev1's rock

also worth checking the cold start timer / injector. these can stick open a little and usually dont throw an error code!
