just got the invoice there, they seem to think it could be the O/S centre bearing.
as for fixing it myself, i'm a joiner to trade, so if i canny fix it with a hammer & plane, i'm fooked
it's also needing another set of front disc's, f******g 4th set, i'm sure the inside caliper is not working right.
time for a trade in maybe

Might be an idea to have the brakes looked at by a professional before fitting another set of discs & pads then

it's been mechanics that have fitted the others, they've never mentioned anything.
the first set were goosed with in the 3 year warranty, peugeot washed their hands of it

Your driving like a tit
OR
Cheap nasty parts are being fitted.
Brembo for discs & Ferodo Premier for the pads.
Make sure both the calipers are in good working order before fitting the new pads & discs.
#12: Re: Drive Shaft Bearing/Driveshaft Author: bellevuespares, Location: ManchesterPosted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:16 pm ---- Excessive Braking, Tailgating or your calipers are not releasing (siezed) If thats the case, we have calipers in stock so be sure to ask a price before buying new.
Also the driveshaft would be 10 pounds postage.
