Borders Run Around

Looking to get from near Stow to South Edin for work each day. About 20 miles one way. £2000 to spend. What sort of diesel car should I be after?

No Sealed unit that MMC will tell you needs replaced. They also drill a hole in the bottom of the new fan casing to drain any water (apparently on advice from lotus) The burning smell will stop when the fan gives up (ie next few days) Also MMC will charge an arm and a leg for the unit and fitting......

Stu and a Screw

A quick update on my braking issue. You will remember that I had a problem with apparent disc warping and a grinding noise from the front left under moderate braking for the last couple of weeks after fitting new front pads.

I am having major issue with my braking at the moment. I have recently replaced the pads with Pagid RS-14s and when moderate braking from about 40mph I get a real clattering sound and vibration through the pedal. The sound is a scraping sound and slows when slowing so I am certain is related to rota...
