hahhaha, heaven forbid!


souns like it was close tho!

very slight marking to the inside of the rim prob need balancing thats it (driving fine though!) just cant believe I got away with it!!!

was about to start wishing I had a small block lol was having thoughts like 'bloody stupid specialist hubs and astra cv's!!'

lol @ people moaning about the head phones! sort it out!

aritchie, close one matey! damage the wheel much?

hrm... maybe this is why your brakes have been giving you problems?


dont how you can concentrate on the road with head phones... even if i have the radio up loud my driving goes to pot...:o

I think a loud stereo will go far louder than having earphones in ...

on another note you were lucky .. buy a lottery ticket

fuckin grow up ffs,so fuck if he had head phones on lol.lots of ppl drive with there music up full bung subs banging there tits out etc just as bad.anyway hope u get it fixed :D

BUT yes i will not drive with both the headphones on my handsfee kit again i take the above points on board!!

deaf people drive!!! As do the police use ear peices. was a phone handfree kit ffs!!

Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure it's actually illegal mate...

Anyway, lucky break with the caliper :!

how is it differen to driving with stereo tuend right up??? if i can hold a conversation with somebody in the car using the same headphones / handfree then surely there is no problem?? Iv often been a passanger in a car were I havent been able to hold a conversation over the stereo! (in my younger days)

as i say usualy use 1 for taliking on phone etc for some reason i had both in!! for the record though the only reason I didnt hear the grinding at first was because of noise of the car!! had I been driving slower i would have heard it even with headphones in.

Yeh he's got a point ^^

Errrrm yes there is a big difference actualy but hey

its my hansfree kit for my phone not really headphones had been on phone few minutes before but i was listening to radio through them!!! no different to havig stereo turned up loud imho

So let me guess this straight....

You were DRIVING with HEADPHONES on??????????

Car has been worked on by at least 5 people in last 1000 miles

not sure who had them off last wouldnt like to blame anyone but myself!!

can i ask why headphones?
havent u got a cd player?

very lucky, who fit the brakes?

Coming home from work tonight (it was dark) seen loads of spark up the off side of the car, pulled my backed off the throttle pulled my headphones out heard a grinding noise and started to feel loads of bad feedback through the steering wheel.

Pulled up thinking hub carrier or something must have sheered but couldn’t see anything in the dark,

called the AA and after them jacking it up and carrying out a few investigations the very nice patrol man quickly diagnosed that my break calliper had come loose at the top!!:!:!

Perhaps that why my breaks have been a bit ropey :boggle: ??

Seriously though could have been a lot worse could have locked the wheel up and shafted the wheel and put me in the bush!! (was going about 60 down a country lane)
