Re: Drilled Brake Disc recommendation?
When I said my discs were rusting I meant everywhere except the pad swept area, that area doesn’t rust as it’s constantly used. The special coatings are applied to the whole discs I’m not convinced they work all that well but the idea is that they stop the non swept areas from rusting which in the c...

Re: Drilled Brake Disc recommendation?
Yes but with drilled discs it adds further to the looks so when you’re due some new discs I’d recommend you find some drilled ones too. That looks nice mate. I’ll prob try doing the callipers myself with a brush will post a pic if it looks good haha!

Buying a New key - Dealer or not?
Anyone replaced and intelligent key and saved money by going elsewhere other than Dealer? Not eBay I mean reputable third party?
Dealer quoted £237 with no key cutting.
or £280 with key cut, which I don’t need!
Thanks

Re: Wing mirrors whistle at speed
Really helpful guys thanks. I did unsuccessfully try the tape idea but will give it another go. Will confirm if I solve.

Re: Drilled Brake Disc recommendation?
Thanks guys, it is purely for looks as std are good enough for a 1.5 dci. I’ve always added small touches to my cars just to differentiate hopefully tastefully, from the next. More and more cars are coming from the factory now with drilled discs and coloured callipers. Doing the same on my other car...

Drilled Brake Disc recommendation?
Hi all, my brake discs are overcome with rust and I’m looking to swap them with some aftermarket discs drilled and grooved etc. Has anyone fitted any and could recommend? As far as I can see the choice is Black Diamond or Zimmerman? Any others? Any thoughts on either of these?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Key fob v. short range
Sorry, should have said yes I’ve tried three high quality new batteries so have definitely ruled out that one. Contacts all look ok not oxidised etc.

Re: Rear lights from new J11 fit old J11?
Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Yes it was the J11 A and B which you can see look identical but as you say may be a diff story when it comes to the electrics. Thought it could be a nice easy mod to do and was hoping someone had.
Good idea though to check eBay pics will do a quick scout about.

Re: Wing mirrors whistle at speed
Okay, well if anyone knows of any different shape wing mirror caps which may change the aero dynamics let me know. Over about 40 ish the sound is definitely there. Surprised not many noticed this on J11. I think it may be the shape of bonnet push air toward the huge wing mirrors. I managed to get ri...
