Seriously due to give in with this saxo vtr 52 plate. :wall:
Had my cat snap on me in december, it just done it again today lol good job it was under warranty ;) so got a replacement and fitted it today.
Had my clutch cable snap on me last week and had a new 1 fitted on friday and now there is a noise coming from the pedals when i go over bumps which was not there before the cable snapped. Any ideas any1??
Also the brake bias spring on the passenger side rear is snapped and the caliper is stuck on. Any idea where i can buy a new brake bias? And How to un stick the caliper? or is it time to get a new caliper?
Also to top it all off my window has came off the runners about 10 mins ago and i have had to jam it up shut, Any ideas on an easy way to fix this?
Cheers for any help use may offer

i used to say the same lol torch the fucking thing but its running sweet now and i feel good cos ive fixed it and made it work lol mandyslover70 on here has bias valves in for £15 and if a garage has fitted your cable and pedals are playing up take it back

A wouldnt say it was the pedals that were playing up as the clutch works fine and it only happens when going over bumps lol knowing my luck it will be track rod ends that have went at the exact time as the clutch cable lol

havin found this diagram there iv realised its just the number 4 bold that has snapped so it must just need a new rear caliper

Have you actually pushed the piston back in, pumped it, pushed it back in and pumped it? to see if it frees off?

sorry dunno how that posted twice lol and yeah tryed it a few times, it worked for a few days then locked back on, so think there must be dirst got into the piston or somethin, so looks like it will be 50 bucks for a new 1 as all the scrappies round here dont have any saxos which is just my luck lol

Sounds like something is loose. Have you stuck your head down there and wiggled it about?
