Having put semi new pads on the front, im now getting a lot of brake squeal under light to medium braking.

 

Also when im driving along and give it a bit, i get a nice exhaust spell in the cabin, regardless of if i have the roof off or on, or windows open or closed, any idea why this could be? exhaust isnt blowing near the elbows from what i can tell.

You know you shouldn't be casting spells in the zed, best keep that to the garage or dungeon !:tt2:

is it a manual ?

 

check the gear stick dust boot is on right !

boot just under where the perspex strip is.

You sure it's not a burning oil spell.........

defo not burning oil. its exhaust smell.

 

Jaikai always had the smell just always wanted to post but kept forgetting lol

 

I did lose the rubber trim that holds onto the underside of the tail gate on the drivers side, but that was only the other day and its been smellable before then.

Oh!-and the pads,buy some new ones ya tight sod!!:lol:

Does it get any stronger smelling when the aircon is on ?

Aircon? nope with the roof off its the same lol (air con disabled till i change the compressor over mate lol)

 

Manta lol, brake pads came off my breaker they were virtually new, but will be getting some more anyway as i think the compound is causing them to squeak and they really do produce loads of dust.

more copper grease on the backs of the pads and also the bit on the caliper where it sits. If there ebc red/green stuff, ive heard by several different people that they tend to squeal alot of the time anyway due to the compound?!

How did you know? :blink:

duck, arse and sandstorm spring to mind :lol::lol:

 

To stop them squeeling take them back off and rough up the surface and sand a tapered edge all the way round and this should do the trick :wink:
