(G) Uno Newbie

hi guys,

I picked up my 97% mint uno turbo mk1 last weekend i love it, theres picks in the members motors section.
Come across troubles already tho lol.
rear brakes... the pads had worn down so far that it was running metal on metal, on removing the pads we found the piston which needs twisting doesn't seem to want to be twisted back in any hints at all?

as i say theres pic in members motors but heres a pic anyway

Ace choice Alex!! Welcon to Uno antix

Scuderia mentioned jacking car up, letting bleed nipple offout some brake fluid to allow the piston to return, then bleed brakes...

Never had the luxury - will change soon no dought LOL thread here http://www.turbocollective.net/phpBB...php?f=10&t=143

I'd agree about the External De-modding

Isnt that Kalels old one?

Mate i wanted that one SSSSOOO badly!!

Where abouts in surrey are you mate?
Im sutton/croydon end! Ghetto end of surrey......lol

You coming Italian night next thursday at ace cafe with it?

Love the front number plate style.

is it legal?

According to the recipts no got some abarth ones on order


Yup tis Kalels its a stunner considering its age and mileage

Biz i'm from Hindhead way, might bring her to ace but i gotta sort brakes first

Welcome to the dark side Alex! The UT looks good, and yes, bring it down to the Ace Cafe meet next week. Sod the rear brakes, they do bugger all work anyway!

I'll be bringing my mk1 Uno 70SX along so we can let Jai dribble over both of our cars

Gawd its bad enuf the birds keep bullseyeing my new baby don't want grown man drool on her too lol.

Will prolly be there but rele do need to sort brakes was metal on metal one side and loadsa pad left the other
what date is it?

thursday 13th, about 7pm onwards, the discs and pads are quite cheap,

Its the brake piston not retracting thats the problem

EDIT - talking ******** -

Sorted brakes weeeeey

but look at the state of the disc!!!!

Time for a new set of discs.

d'ya think

getting onto that rite now, can't drive her like that rele.

I take it those are the rear discs? If so I wouldn't worry too much as they do bugger all work anyway. That's why they have a tendency to seize up

Lmao my dad drove it. he goes "oh the brakes arn't working properly" and theres me goin "no thats... thats just how they are "
haha.

yea they are the rears, can't have a groove like that in it will have to change them anyway i think.
