Ah right, have you managed to remove it successfully yourself?

Lol yr right there mate. They were quite happy to wave me off with a hanky, knowing the state the brakes were in, could have wrapped myself round a lamp post:eek: Doing shift work, the taxi fares emptied my wallet but Managed to get the brakes done and coaxed em off like you said. Also wd40...

The car you mean? Yes, i was half expecting the brakes to need doing, just not so fllipping quickly. Lost my finger nails through stress and worry, sweating etc.. Lol, been chucked in at tje deep end bht yea its a canny motor to get about with. Shame them devious buggers we're not totally...

Update: found info on ngk part finder, says to use preset gap for the car identified, and adjust to 0. 9 for lpg fuel but doesn't say what the preset gap is . 2 plugs are set to 1mm, and one very close to that so i guess 1mm it is

Or can i find it online somewhere? Ive got the plugs with a preset gap 1mm, on average ots a bbm 1.2 engine

Well, i took the front left wheel off this time. Discs are shot with deep lip., plus whoever worked on the brakes, fitted a new pad on the outside, but left the inner one with about half mm of material. I didn't bother checking the other side. Spun the rear wheels which were fine., but...

Will do!

Great minds think alike lol... Just got back from a spin upto 60 then touched the breaks and noise didn't change.. Will jack up rear afer a cup of coffee... Phew

Nope, cant see any problems there. Ive spun both front wheels and appear ok.. No noise from the calipers

Yea, me again lol.. :oz, Looking for torque settings for spark plugs, oil sump and filter , been looking online but info. appears elusive. any suggestions where I can get em? looked in the manual that came with car but only torque settings found so far are the roadwheel bolts

Thank john, Breathing a sigh of relief here. Id be up **** creek as ive spent hit the piggy bank hard and no car equals no job, "gulp" .. Ta for the tips, and Thanks again john :)

Apologies for asking a daft question here., ive just bought a second hand mk4 polo, which I desperately need for work, noticed just needs a light touch to change gear. I let my mum have a try, and was just about to tell her the gears are easy to select when she grabbed the stick and rammed...

I have a dog ramp for a staffy, Anyone used door sill protectors? Ive seen some but look too permanent, one product you soak in water and stick on but no mention how to get em back off. Any ideas? Car is a polo e and has wide sills

Righto, will do, thanks for the replies

In my experience, the fault occurred when starting the car, resulting in heavy steering and so was aware of it when driving. After the fault code was cleared the power steering is working again Can anyone tell me id the fault can return while driving and catch you out?
