    Careful getting the cheap ones. Mine started flickering after not tolong. Not a good look. And bummer to keep replacing as youve probably discovered

    I bought just one from bumpyridez refurb on ebay. Looked bran new outa the box. At the same time cleaned up and lubed other nd nearly two years later still perfect. So my advice just get one

    But since moving living arrangements pleased to be getting 425 to 450 miles to a tank working out at 35 mpg. Thats on A road with only 2 traffic light stops

    Lol. Thanks Chris. I have pushed the plate but not with to much force. Will be a bit more brutal then! yThing is the squealing i have noticed since opening window like i said however the scraping i can hear faintly from inside more so! So the scraping is more recent. In fact im pretty sure it happened over night! my bet is squeel coming from slightly warped disc. Scrape back plate. Annoying thing is neither i hear when i jack up and spin wheels! Grrr Oh sorry disc! Big into biking got mixed up lol

    Oh and yes rotor is very slightly warped from a past ceized caliper. So could be something to with it but its been that way for over a year and only noticed it now. Although only just starting having window open lol

    I was thinking more the backing plate tbh. Calipers are new and wheels spin freely. I also touch them regularly to check there not hot. Looks to be a fair bit of meat left on the pads as you say. Hmm

    Well inspected all 4 wheels while servicing today and couldn't see any obvious problems. Thinking just a bit of muck in the pads

    Great cars. Reliable look great, sound great and have character. My headunit works flawlessly. Heard as long as you wait for load light it wont break. Love my yatour for aux and ipod in. Also GROM is same thing. I dont use my phone much just keep little nano in there all the time. Get one

  19. petayV8

  23. petayV8
    Yeah what a day! B) ill be getting there about 1130am. a bit later than planned

    all my next cars in mind only have worse MPG lol. been working up to a V8. I certainly wont go back to a 4 pot after owning my first 6 cylinder. so smooth and effortless and love the sound. MPG is the last priority for me. its just not something i consciously think about. Cars make me happy in life, i get alot out of driving them. Ive been a petrol head all my life and lifes to short to hold back. I get everyones not like me of course, most ppl a car is just a car to get to work etc.

    My light came on at 419 miles. like i said about 80% A road 20% town. didnt fill up until 445. Youst to get the usual 300-325 around if all town. im quite happy with this, really not alot different to my 1.6 Focus or even my Rover 200 diesel. Not sure really why ppl complain tbh, there are MUCH worse MPG cars out there trust me!
