Hi all In need of some help.
Fitted new front discs & pads on Wednesday.
When a fitted just the discs with the grub screw fitted a turned the discs and a noticed the driver side was going side to side like a fishes tail but a thought that might be ok until a fit the wheel to balance it out.
The passenger side disc was a little bit worse when a turned that one it actually jammed in the brake carrier but like before a thought that would be ok until a fitted the wheel then when a did fit both front wheels they both spun fine.
Now when a steer to the right am getting a noise which sounds simalure to the noise of the brake disc dust cover grinding up against the brake disc but reasure it's not I've checked could it be the wheel bearings starting to fail totally fine in a straight line just steering to the right when noise starts.
In my opinion the car is really bad on fuel averaging between 28 and 32 MPG around town and the car feels sluggish like a have to really push the car to move to me it doesn't feel free it's hard to describe how it feels.
The car is a E class w212 2.1 auto deisel 2012 plate.
Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated thanks.
Graeme.
