came off my car, but what is it
 
Might not be the best place to put this, but thought I'd try here first. (stick with local help first :luxhello:)

So last couple of days been hearing a strange sound when going over bumps and coming from front drivers side wheel. Not sure how to describe the sound at all, so won't try.
Pulled up today after work and put car on full lock. Looked in by the drivers front wheel and saw this thing hanging down.

Had new caliper fitted just over a month ago. And funnily enough it was for that wheel too.

Was nice with no random tinkling sound on the drive to work on this "happy" morning.

That's it.... Look like some home made pice of kit to hang a caliper whilst removing brake disc or working on other bits in that area.

Stops the caliper hanging by the brake pipe

Oh, maybe I should take that bit back to David Coe.

Need to pop over since the new caliper has been clicking a bit.

duckdo 09 April 2013 11:50 AM

That's pretty bad, leaving that in there. I'm guessing the garage is well known from the later comment

Oh oh. Previously a fan but most who have been are rating him a bit sh*t.

The Sheep Worrier 09 April 2013 06:25 PM

Wouldn't trust him with my wheelbarrow....

antonyand 09 April 2013 09:49 PM

Had gone there from recommendation from a few ppl and on my visit last year, they did a good job.

bigphilbaby 11 April 2013 12:15 AM
