    need wishbone bolts

    Are you for real! I guess you haven't fitted too many micra wishbones to cars with the original parts still in place fo 10+ years. Any I have had to take out neeed mr bosch (4.5" grinder) to cut the heads off the bolts as they were seized in the steel bush.

    need wishbone bolts

    I would definitely get them from the local nissan stealer, and correct me if i am wrong, as they are suspension bolts they will be hardened instead of being a regular mild steel bolt. They won't cost that much

    k11 alloys please help!

    :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:The wheel ofset can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, also measure the spigot ring on your hub to see if they fit the bore in the wheel. By the way what did they come off, as Rover, vauxhall, and possibly older VW and fiat all come with the same PCD and number...

    burning smell

    Are your discs held onto the hub with a retaining screw?.. If they are supposed to be check the screw is in place, not some cowboy nipped the head off the screw and didnt bother removing the shank. I've seen some Pugs/####rons/renaults with this problem: the disc has then spun on the hub face...

    If the seals have tured in th master cylinder, it is scrap. Get a new one, you'll never get a decent pedal feel even if you bleed continuously for the next 10 years

    any ideas... please tell me.

    Dead right, a garage could be sued for negligence, and in particular the guy who done the work if an accident, or indeed an injury or a fatality resulted (It's the LAW ). The fitter/mechanic could also be tried for manslaughter due to sub standard work and serve a prison sentence. STOP using...

    any ideas... please tell me.

    sounds like someone forced the caliper cylinders back into the caliper without slackening the bleeders, turning the seals in the master cylinder. I know cos i done it myself on my mk2 golf years ago. Common on older VWs (polo, golf/jetta) and Opel/Vauxhall cars especially Mk2&3 astra and...

    burning smell

    yep the pricing issue needs seen to: look at ford for example, it usually costs around the same for spurious parts as the motorcraft/ford service items I asked the local Toyota stealer in derry a couple of years ago for a cv joint for a jdm St202 celica:- their reply was that will be £250...

    burning smell

    inspect your caliper first, if the rubber bellows protecting the piston is damaged there is a significant possibility the piston could be pitted with rust and therefore causing interference between the piston and the bore of the caliper, ie. sticking piston

    burning smell

    yep, euroscrap strikes again! but they aren't the only culprits. When you change them take out the brake pads and give the area where the pads sit and the caliper sliding pins a good clean and some copperslip grease
