Also a funny smell in the cabin, any thoughts? It seems to do this a lot and the rears have only lasted just over 2,000 miles?

I got a friend to video it to try and demonstrate what I mean hehe

Looks pretty impressive cool

Wonder if part of the cause of your poor rear traction is your front brake calipers sticking on winkbiggrin

Do you mean 2000 miles? Did you not mean 2000 meters

I get a similar issue.
Also,sometimes my car leaves 2 black marks on the ground when I select second quickly.


Have you asked quickfit if they know what the problem is ?

I’ve got the exact same issue with mine, must be some inherent Monaro problem! rofl

I know exactly what you mean about the funny marks as well!

I wonder if GM are aware of this? It certainly does seem like a Monaro flaw in some way, I've never noticed BMWs doing this for example?

Perhaps I should inform the Daily Express?
