Forum rules
Not many rules really, this board being aimed at technical issues, it shouldn't fall foul (hopefully) of some of the more personal issues that can affect forums.

Rule 1 - Is that you need to think very carefully before posting anything technical or asking anything technical relating to the security system of the car - See 'Security Issues' sticky for more info.

Rule 2 - We (MGF Register) do not support copyright infringement and therefore references to CD ROM, PDF versions or paper copies of the workshop manual (for instance) should not be posted on the forum. We don't want to get into trouble and we'd rather sell you a genuine hard copy through our Regalia shop anyway! :)

Because advice is honestly and freely given in this technical section, much of it will be amateur experienced based, so any information is given in good faith and is not guaranteed as correct.

Rattle/Rubbing noise after doing a service.

Post by GazSuttonUK » Thu Nov 08, 2007 7:52 pm

About 6 weeks ago I did a service on my TF. Changed Cam Belt, Tensioner, Water Pump, Spark Plugs, Air Filter, Oil and Filter and also fitted XPower Springs. Since then I have had a Rattle/Rubbing noise from the Drivers side rear.
After checking I found one of the bolts from the 'Anti-Roll' bar had come loose and was rattling and rubbing on the brake disc.
