This is not good!...

Last week it was my ECU that went tits up, and I got that sorted and all was going fine over the weekend...

Now just on my way home from work, I get a screaming/screeching noise coming from the near side, sure its the rear. Stopped the car and could feel the heat when I put my hand near the alloy. Possibly ball bearing knackered now?

How many black cats have you run over?

That is some bad luck there mate, hang in there ;)

[D3monstrate]

Ive only ran over one, and that was years ago in the Saxo. And ever since that the Saxo kept going wrong... I think were onto something here...

Any idea how to reverse the bad luck stuff?

Siezed Caliper is the most obvious reason for your wheel being hot... does it pull to one side or the other at all?

Strangly enough I have a brand new Rear ZS180 nearside Caliper sitting in my shed doing nothing.... ;)

Yeah it wasnt til I tried it this morning that I realised it was the brakes sticking and were now down to the metal, hence the squealing

If the outside pad is on the metal then the inside could have been on the metal for a while! So new discs and pads could be required!!!

If your changing themselves then you will need a wind back tool... if you were round this way I'd lend you mine ;)... but as your south from where I used to live then its a bit far for you to travel :p
