Started getting a metal on metal squeak today on the way home from work, noticed i only got it on hard acceleration, ie on boost, i had visions in my mind of the blades of the turbo scraping on their housings and me having to part with over a grand and be zedless for a while.

 

After searching the engine bay for boost leaks etc, panic was setting in, then the obvious occured.

 

Lookes at the Near side wheel and the brake pad indicator was touching the disc, bent it back tested, noise gone, phew!!!!:D

 

So now i got to get a set of pads instead of a set of tubs!!!!

Glad to hear it was'nt Turbos, at least pads a lot cheaper and only a couple of hours to sort out.

Similar screech - similar panic!! Diagnosed by expert as turbos (now ex expert as it wasn't!)

 

Rediagnosed as flywheel or starter motor problems. Fixed, loose starter motor, and all for £150.

 

As I'd persuaded "SWMBO" - much grovelling etc - to allow me to spend £1.5k to get back on the road, so I still have some left. I'm now going to get some wheels.

 

It's nice to hear and experience things going the right way with zeds for a change. I hope our good fortune spreads to others,
