New discs and pads a tad noisy

Hard to pinpoint when on the move but both near side wheels make some noise when rotated and jacked.

Found audio taken with the phone pointed towards the passenger window, but can’t upload it here it seems.

Will check the stone guard. Thanks!

New discs and pads a tad noisy

Hello, I got new discs and pads on the S1 a few months back at CMC and noted they were making a light rubbing noise even after ~150 miles. Having a little time to https://www.lotustalk.com/threads/brakes-rubbing.69319/ read up this past week, it seems it might be not unusual. Doesn’t seem to drag no...

Re: Headlamp bracket

Just bent it back and held in place with a stick against the brake disc. The fuse box screws have seen better days so I decided to leave that for another day.

Re: Headlamp bracket

No, but easily sorted thankfully.

Nice to get another simple job under the belt. I’m sure they’ll be plenty more tricky ones.

Headlamp bracket

When replacing a headlamp bracket https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230908/350ff6eb6295fa7cdcdce9afb7e36642.jpg I’m assuming getting rid of all the old tiger seal and reapplying to the clam is the best approach?

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?

Bought a Honda e for the commute. Sorry to see my Golf R Estate go but loving the e and not regretting it one bit.

If I can get the Mrs to swap the XC60 for an Estate next time I’ll be happy.

Didn’t know that was an option. Thanks for pointing it out! Booked, figure I might as well make the most of the insurance for that day.
