Breaks warping
Discussion
Guys and girls alike.
I (well my brother) seem to be having a problem with a E36 325i BMW coupe.
Not so long ago the car had some elctrical problems, this meant that the lights would flicker and cut out and that the heater wouldn't work and varies lights on the dash would light up. We got an eletrician in to have a look and told us that there was a rely problem. We got these replaced and the lights have been fine since. But the car seems to be having problems with the front discs.
Since this problem with the electrics began we have gone through 2 sets of front disc as they have warpped. The 1st set were the orignals since the car was built and the second set were bought from BMW. Now we took these back to them, but they said that as the alloys were not standard (OZ Racing 17"super turismo) they would invalidate the warrenty.
Thing is that these alloy have been on the car since new and we bought the car with 75,000 miles (ex-fleet) on the clock and there was never a problem.
We sometimes see the ABS light come on every now and again, but i have no idea where the problem is.
We were recommend by Halfords to get a set of grooved discs to solve the problem and we are getting these next week. But i was wondering if this has ever happened to anyone before? Or that if anyone know what this problem was, or where to start looking?
Your help is much appreciated as we have spent a small foutune on this car.
Cheers
