A Few Problems

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Hoping somebody could offer me some advice on the following problems;

 

1 - I am getting a some white drops splattering up the car, looks like its coming from the radiator, it is not a huge amount but it does happen every time i'm out in it, could this just be a split in a hose??

 

2 - Really squeaky break, at slow speeds the breaks really squeak, on closer inspection they have not get any of that material on the back of the pad, could this be doing it, the pads have plenty left on them, and the discs are fine with no rust. Could it be the pads are just not positioned correctly? 

 

3 - While i am driving there is a constant sound of air (like there is a window down while driving a normal car on the motorway) interestingly, this gets louder or quieter depending if i have the wheels turning or not, so this one has completely baffled me!

 

Thanks for any help

 

James

1. Check the tightness of the jubilee clip on your rad top hose.

2. Put copper slip on the back of the pads or buffers on the inside top and bottom of the callipers.

3. Wheel bearing? Check for wheel movement 12 / 6 and 3 / 9.

Cheers
