    Strange rotor wear

    Fluid is only 3 weeks old, the rims are pretty open because this photo is taken with rim still on, Yep it is passenger side. maybe wd40 in piston might be a good idea because when car is lifted passenger side pads does drag a little on rotor when turning wheel by hand but driver side does not...

    Strange rotor wear

    Thanks for you're comments they are TRW rotors high carbon content so i don't think they are soft, although i did just buy cheap silverline pads. Thing is the driver side rotor does not have this kind of wear on them and it only happened recently, while they have been on there for a 3-4 months...

    My car won't start

    check the volts of the battery to be 100% sure if you dont have a multimeter, you can check the voltage in the hidden trip computer menu, by holding mode and up when turning the key. if its below 12.4 then its a dead battery.

    My car won't start

    if the starter motor just keeps ticking then its most probably a dead battery.

    I have cruise Control and have never heard that noise, I also think cruise control does not have an alarm. That alarm does not seem like a cluster alarm anyway because they generally have 3 beeps and dont sound like that Unless the ute cluster is different to Vx Vt but i wouldnt think so. It...
