Hey everyone!
Bit of a weird one this. I picked up the car only a week or so ago and have probably driven it only 60 miles or so since, on 3 separate occasions. Today however I did a 20 ish mile round trip but for the first time there was 5 people in the car (I don't know if that has any relevance or not).
When I picked the car up it had an MOT & Service etc as part of the sale. During the MOT it had brand new disks and pads fitted to the rear wheels...
Everything has been find and perfect until I was almost home today when I stopped for fuel, I got out of the car and my passenger side rear wheel absolutely STUNK (just like the smell of a burning clutch), It also seemed considerably hotter when in close proximity in comparison to the other 3 wheels...
Obviously, the handbrake was fully off and the footbrake was to (it was pretty much all nice country roads with little to no braking at all)!!
Another thing which might be of interest but I might be wrong: I lifted the carpet in the boot and that side of the boot was rather hot to touch??? I know that the exhaust is that side so maybe that could be that... Just wouldn't expect my boot to be getting hot!!!
Any help at all would be a huge help...
