Title: A couple of Strange issues
Post by: M7AXB on January 13, 2011, 01:45:35 pm

Hi folks :happy2:

Was wondering if anyone has had the same problems:

Last night when i was driving along my passenger window went down itself and when i went to put it up it nothing happened. I suspected the motor was shot but, strangley when i leaned over to the passenger window control and tried it went up without a problem. It was fine this morning but, started again this afternoon  :confused:.

I'm also getting a squeaking noise from the back right brake at lower speeds and i had a garage have a look and they sanded the pads and greased it them and the sqeak came back after 1 mile  :sad1: . I am almost certain its the brakes as the noise is constant as im going along and when i apply the brakes  or if i pull the handbrake up a tiny bit the noise disappears.

Can anyone help?

Cheers :drinking:

cant help with the window but the brakes just happen sometimes, we get it on our landrover, spesh in the winter when it gets grit/salt/crap in the brakes and causes them to rub at lower speeds.

sanding the pads probz wont help as the pad and disk will still be the same distance apart when put back together.
