Have just been doing the brakes on the Z as i was getting a clicking/creaking noise coming from both front brakes when pressed. I noticed that only the pistons from the inside are pushing when the brake is applied causing the caliper to twist putting stress on the bracket and this is where the creaking is coming from.

Thanks in advance. :D

Right im not the most technically minded person but... Am i to understand that the o2 sensors measure the oxygen level in the exhaust gas and then adjust the fuel mixture if the level of oxygen is outside the parameters?? Basically my car has an interesting issue where sometimes on the motorway it pulses ever so slightly.. So i hooked it up to my conzult, and also datascan and whilst crusing the o2 sensors are giving erratic readings. (seemingly at any speed) Right is worse than left. But under acceleration both seem to return towards the top of the scale Under deceleration (or just coasting, no throttle) the both return to zero, or about zero. A…

The MOT is due so i was just checking around the car and found a boot on the steering rack split.I cut it off ready for the replacement only to find a large thick washer type thing on the shaft which was loose :confused: Should this be loose or has it sheard off something. :( It's the ring in the middle of the picture.

Just had installed,two Power Enterprise Turbos PE1420 with approx 5000 miles usage from new and asurance from seller that they were in perfect working order when taken off the car .They do seem to work ,although hard to get the real impression as my car is on safety boost,due to /(I don't know)..However ,the drivers side turbo makes a ticking /shuttering/clicking sound..somewhat randomely on idle and accelerating,barely audible;but on backing off,a real chattering sound.............Any ventures?

When starting the car first thing when the engine is cold getting white smoke,but as soon as I start driving the problem goes compleatley. Give it a thrashing and still seems o.k Turn off the engine when hot,restart and no smoke problem. Any advice please. CheerZ Chris.

Dont know whether you guy's have read my thread on fuel consumption but I took it for a long hard run last night while the weather was nice and when the engine got hot it lost an awful lot of power the car reved up to high for the power it was giving out. Pulled up at the pub as you do! let it cool down then the power was back???? has anyone had similar problems in the past.?

I was in a white zed. Saw 2 red zeds on the m25 near the M4 in traffic jams. One clockwise and one anti-clockwise.
