  1. Hey guys looking at getting a ute for the wife.

    It's mainly going to be a town daily but I'll be using it on the weekends to go up to the snow and basic off roading e.g. visiting mates farms and going down onto the beach. 

    Looking at anything 2014ish onwards

    Wanting to know what makes/models to stay away from.

     

    Cheers

  2. Hey guys.

     

    Was wondering if any one had any advice or info on how I could possibly boost my cell phone reception as I tend to do alot of refrigeration work on farms and most of the time I'll only have 1 bar or nothing.

    It would be hooked up to my work van so doesn't have to look pretty just needs to be functional.

     

    Cheers

    Sounds like the pad "binding" to the disc once you have parked up. One of my cars does it at times, not sure why or what causes it. Never worried about it.

    Yeh but it happens everytime I park up :/ is there a way to maybe break them in so it stops?

  4. Nah the caliper went in like the usual on the fronts and nah the pads arent wearing quickly at all that ive noticed :/.

    Im going to bleed the brake likes and put new fluid in and go through the handbrake system when i get home. was kinda hoping to be an easy fix as im in auckland and home is whakatane haha. will just have to take it easy when i drive around

  5. Hey guys, so a couple of weeks ago one set of rear brake pads decided it was a good idea to shear off and not work properly. I checked out the disk and theres minimal scoring and i changed the pads. Ever since then when ever i release the handbrake and start to go it feels like the calipers are sticking and then theres a loud clunk and its fine. I thought it might have been the pads because they were new and its the first time i replaced the rears but now im not so sure because it keeps happening.

     

    What could be causing this? 

     

    Bleed and replace brake fluid? 

    Faulty abs sensor?

    Something in line with the handbrake sticking?

     

    i have recently lubricated the guide pins for the calipers but that hasnt helped at all

  6. Yeh i will probably bypass it all and wire it up to somewhere that comes off the ignition and will turn on with the car and off when i turn the car off (maybe through a switch so i can turn them off if i need to)

     

    Are they quite bright?
