Omg.. I just called Brandon up and his schedule was full all the way till CNY for troubleshooting issues. Friendly guy whom shared his knowledge and told me to try greasing the brake pads

i think he meant greasing the contact points between the brake pads n calipers.

maybe while turning it's going back and forth thus the continuous clicking sound, hopefully it's that.. but could the rotor be loose? :eek: hope that's not the case.

perhaps you can let the workshop know that the brake pad is running loose and not secured then see what they can do about it? no harm doing a brake servicing to clear off the brake dust as well.

I have check whether the rotor, caliper bracket, pin bolt all is secured tight. I think I’ll go find a shop to grease it then see how it goes.. hopefully is gone. Btw what do they do for brake servicing ?

nice. yup, mine was greased and problems gone. sometimes the solution is simple but often missed out :s13:

Btw bro your ride is a is250 as well? Yours is just the single click sound when forward and backwards or continuously during turning as well?

Yes no choice.. lesson learnt better to look up the forums for solution first rather than wasting time and money spent in workshop which can’t solve

very old gadget from donkey years ago.
nowadays seldom hear people install this anymore. last time more for turning on the aircon during hot weather but if you leave your aircon on then start engine, battery die fast.

just whatsapp Jackson see he has it or not.

the starter motor might die faster.
some aftermarket cheapo auto start system will just crank for a period of time, ie 5sec. but your engine already started after 2sec crank.
