    The trip meter rubbber on my speedo has split and broken off within the speedo glass so I'm left with a brass button and the remaining rubber sitting behind the glass that I can't get out. I have tried using long nose pliers to pull the rubber out without success and don't want to risk breaking the glass. Is there another way to replace the rubber or cover the brass button so it looks better?

    My drivers side seat is showing some signs of fading and wear to the leather, does anyone know of a leather treatment or cream I can use to restore the colour back to black to smarten it up?

    ok I have had the wheels off tonight to have a look and nothing seems amiss. However I did find that the outside front right brake pad could be moved fractionally with my finger creating a knocking sound.. the other 3 pads all sit firmly on the disc with no detectable movement. I'm wondering now whether a few high speed stops might resettle the piston back firmly onto the pad?

    Thanks, will be checking all these. Not the wheel nuts though, checked those recently. I was expecting it to be something like the pad spring clips or such like but I need to have a look to see what the set up is on these brakes. I will certainly compare one side to the other though for any obvious differences Wanted to have a good look before going back to CC for help. I had pad knock once before on another car after brake pads/discs were changed and that went as mysteriously as it came..

    No pumping. I used to get a lot of judder at low speeds but that was due to a warped disc.

    Hello all I'm very new here, have had my C7 a few months and have recently had new discs on the front. I am now getting a very loud knocking sound at low speed that seems to be coming from the front right wheel. As soon as I drag the brake pedal it disappears (so hence I think it's pad knock) and I can't detect it at higher speeds (above 20-30mph it seems to stop). I was going to get the car on the stands tonight to have a look, any advice on what to check for? It's a 2002 SV with the ventilated disc/superlight caliper set up. Thanks
