Right, cars been running fine since the dizzy swap... BUT... Last night as I got to work doing 70 I had a bit of wheel shake. Not too much but vibration was clearly there to be felt...
Last couple of days as I've got to work I've noticed a strange not burning, but hot smell, that I can't put my finger on... Strange thing is I haven't smelt it when I drive home so assumed it was maybe something in/near work & I was being paranoid!?
Driving home this morning though the car was struggling to 50... Anything above was very slow & very hard going, even with foot pinned to the floor. Didn't notice anymore shake but when I got home one wheel was hot, the other wasn't... One brake disc was hot (as you'd imagine) the other on the hot wheel was scalding & I could smell the wheel was hot (could smell the paint cooking).
Sooo... Could it be a binding brake? Would explain why the car seemed to be fighting? But I've tried breaking in a straight line & the car isn't pulling or anything?
Before I touched the wheels I thought perhaps the exhaust was goosed but dunno, seems fine except for some soot around the end so I'm burning oil but I did just do an oil change so prob a bit too much in there?
Any ideas guys?
