Fuel pump relay (twice), ignition amplifier (twice), new radiator, brake shudder for last two years, so far unsolved!
The things that have failed on this car are nothing really, considering it still has the original engine (valve stem oil seals replaced). Even the clutch and clutch cable are original!
Unbelievable! The car is still very fast and economical, returning over 40 mpg on a run.
Any ideas on how to cure the brake shudder though!?
Try some new brake pads and disks, go for some good quality ones though!! Try Halfords: disks £20 each and pads are approx. £15. If you spend over £50 in one go they'll give you £10 off!! I've had mine for about 1.5 years and both pads and disks are almost as new!! And no I don't work for Halfords.
Mine's a G-reg 1.6 EFi, what can I say.. paid £440 for it over two years ago, covered over 20k with no probs. Now got a full free flow manifold and system and it's LOUD and quick (ish). OK, so I had the same brake problem for ages, just couldn't part with the cash to solve it, looking back though it's definitely worth it!!
Hi,
Original poster of message here!
I have had the discs & pads changed three times already and the problem returned after about a month, with Ford & Lockheed discs... I have now changed for Red Dot racing discs, Ferodo pads, and thoroughly cleaned the hub this time in case that wasn't done properly at the other changes! Fingers crossed!
