That pic makes me want some Monzas!

Developed a rubbing noise along with a really loud rattling sound whilst going over any speed bumps on the way to work today - thought the exhaust had fallen off!
Quick inspection around the car once I parked at work and discovered the rear brake shield was completely loose and rattling around next to the disc! :stupid:
Decided to put my AA membership to use and gave them a call whilst I was at work and they came out and took it off for me whilst it was parked - well chuffed!
Found this once it had come off - all three screws at once? Going to remove the other one in the near future as it looks like it's a common problem after some Google searching! How important can they be anyway :signLOL:
AJP:
They're pointless. Mine are forever catching little stones/grit off the road, which get stuck against the disc. It makes a horrendous noise. They will be binned!

So... snapped a coil spring the day before Ultimate Dubs by sitting in the car and taking the handbrake off after she had been stood for 4-5 days!
One side of the car seems to be sat a lot lower than the other and it feels like the damper is permanently bottomed out!
On the positive side, it's given me a bit of a prod to get some coilovers and get her sitting nicely!
So off to Turner Race Developments on Monday to have these fitted and freshen up all the suspension components! Might also get some Super Pro bushes fitted to replace the tired old ones!
Did a bit of homework on various coilovers so hoping AP will be an okay choice! Excited to have it all fitted! :party:
