Cheers guys thats put my mind at ease, was gettin a bit worried about her!

krave - didn't know that, would that be about normal you reckon?

It's on about 105k now and using semi synthetic (the fuchs 10w40 stuff). Do seem to get a bit of smoke when really bootin it aswell but hard to tell, looks a brown/dirty colour.

Alright chaps did an oil change at the start of january and already its at the minimum mark! Checked it a few weeks ago and it was half way between min and max on the dipstick so thought I'd keep an eye on it. Found it was very low this morning. Haven't noticed any on the ground before or found any leaks yet. So... valve stem oil seals maybe? Cheers, Ross

PM replied to mate - let me know how you get on

Cheers Ben Sounds like a plan. I tried a screwdriver in the notch and then hammering and also the hammer on the c spanner, no amount of wd40 was helping!

Went out and took some pics so here goes... http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/5535/padhousingbz2.jpg - where i've shaved the housing so its flush with the pad http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/8716/ingaragexj4.jpg Took these after a quick wash this afternoon.... http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/3204/outsideta4.jpg http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/9333/outsideagainwu4.jpg I'm chuffed, lovin the borbets! Had a go at raising the front aswell cos drivers side is rubbing the arch on lock, but its so tight i couldn't turn the rings at all! They've been set like that for a year and a half so not sur

Got them on today, no probs with the rears. Shaved a few mm off the brake pad housing with the dremmel and jobs a good'un! Just gotta raise the coilovers a bit now lol. Will try and get some pics up 2moro if anyones interested!

Ok ill be ordering some on monday then! Cheers for looking man i'll get some pics up when they're on. Ross

http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/622/brakegt2.jpg Thats not a pic of mine but shows where it seems to be catching. I got the borbets new from Rimstyle so should fit really as I said they were goin on a golf vr. My knowledge is pretty limited I've never fiddled with a car before getting this one!

sorry lol hopefully this works.... http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/6097/dsc00314gi8.jpg

Sorry about the poor quality pic and dodgy paint skills but it shows roughly where a groove was scored. Have only tried the front drivers side as haven't had much time, will see if the other sides any different 2moro. Wondered if i get away with shaving a few mm off, would that cause any probs do you think? Cheers

I'll get a pic up of where its catching on the wheel bare with me.....

Cheers for the replies... Just running standard brakes with et20 all round, didn't think clearance would be an issue! So looks like i'll be getting some spacers hopefully 10mm each side should sort it? What ones people generally use, FK?

Yeh it's the pads, the wheel will hardly turn unless really forcing it and its scored a line around the centre of the wheel! Any ideas? Cheers
