So I thought the flexi hose had collapsed inside hence the pressure taking an hour to go from the pads..so I renewed both front flexis a few weeks back.but driving from the mot garage home today into neutral could feel it slowing down alot got home put my hand by the disc could feel the heat.so it must be the piston as you said.thats the only thing left it could be.i will take the pads out and pump the piston out a fair bit and have a look.it must be that white hard chalky type stuff has built up on the piston..

dogmad riley 1,336 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Just buy a roll of window tint from amazon, easy job just take your time. Don't spray if your planning g on seeing out of them, we did it on a dog bus and you can't see a thing out of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finally done it a few days ago sid..from the outside it looks spot on just like proper window tinting. Inside the rear window looks nice and even and dead black.but the side windows from inside are looking patchy from outside it great..I used 3 rattle cans £9 in total.1 more can to finish off the inside side windows and it will be done.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was quite confident doing it because if it did turn out shit it could be easily removed using a blade like you mentioned. Next plan is to put a led light in the rear boot and wire it up to the rear demister button on the dash.should be easy enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
