rob275 1817 Report post Posted October 15, 2013 So my car had it's first service today,Also been in for the following:Dodgy door seal,Squeaky Brakes,Gearbox going stiff again due to cold weather.Apparently all fixed and will be picking it up shortly,Door seal replaced,Brakes lubricated? :S lets hope they still work and i don't oil myself in to a treeGearstick plate readjusted.I was also unfortunately told that my suspension setup has been chewing in to my inside tyre wall.. only by 3mm and i doubt it will chew in to it anymore. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faith 237 Report post Posted October 15, 2013 I had my service about a week ago and it came back with slightly corroded brake pads :-/ but nothing to worry about - I also reckon I've got a very slow leak in my rear offside tyre because I have had to top it up from about 27 back to 35 a couple of times recently - suppose I should get that sorted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted October 15, 2013 Well my door seal is fixed, brakes also not currently squeaking! and my gearbox currently feels a fair bit better.The cut in to the tyre wall isn't that bad but i do need to decide on either spacers or new wheels!

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 Sounds like you need to sort out that suspension issue. That's not good! Spacers seem your likely option, am guessing you need about 5mm. James, the brakes always squeal, seems to be the pad material that causes it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote']Yeah I will do eventually, but like i told the guy at Toyota, they've been on for about 1500 miles, i'd imagine it's eaten away all it wants to now It's odd cos they turned freely when they were fitted.James, they still squeak as of this morning, they didn't yesterday.

Captain Duff 79 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 This seems to explain the potential causes of squeeling quite well - http://www.aa1car.com/library/tr996.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted October 16, 2013 That's hard to say Rob, it might only be rubbing in certain situations, when cornering hard in a certain direction, so it could continue to wear especially if you don't actually know why exactly it's rubbing, you don't know what and how much it's touching during what situation!

Are you going to the meet on Nov 9th I can bring them along thenAlec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
