Did the brakes today prior to viewing your comments about the rotating piston and the need for the alignment. Blimey, those bolts were difficult to undo! After much huffing and cursing, I eventually worked out for myself that the pistons had to be rotated but what worries me is that business with th...

218 coupe vvc - courtesy lights

The interior light fails to operate when the off-side door opens. The light in the boot also fails to work. Is this just coincidence, or are they linked? Any solutions gratefully received.
