Re: Cleaner brake pads.

I have exact same problem on the M2. Unless I take it out and brake heavy a few times to dry off the disc the pads weld themselves to the disc and get brake judder for days after till it clears the pick up.

Re: Another new home for Scottish Elises?

And posts are limited to 2000 characters which for some of the technical posts, especially rebuilds, is quite limiting. If you want to keep it all in one post at the top of the thread.

Don’t forget we already have a Facebook group as well.
Only one question, how do you make it findable for potential new members?
