The comparison may be skewed by the fact that heat (in this case, boiling hot water) was only used for one of the tests. I wonder how effective some of the other tests might have been, if they were using boiling hot liquids.

Nice review of the day. I did mine in Abingdon last weekend. I drove the Ferrari 250R (a Testa-Rossa replica, beautiful car, terrible driving experience, but fun) and the Ferrari California (which was superb, so I paid for 2 extra laps from the 2 I had booked). Alas, even though the Cali did have a video camera, there was no recording on my card when I went to pay for it. Yes, it’s a long day and totally a money spinner for them but, if you are aware of the extras, it’s a nice day out. And as you said, nice selection of cars.

This is super easy, but to the point that now when I try to use the winding tool, the calliper refuses to move. thought I bought the wrong direction tool, so got the other one. NO difference. The brakes were not stuck when I took it apart. But the calliper wont move. It´s a Fabia so I guess the right direction is the one in this video. But what to do if it is completely stuck? (I´m currently on the rear left... In the video it definately winds clockwise. )

Tried everything. It moves a millimeter, just so the old worn out pads barely worked. But it wont turn to wind in. Tried pressing in all kinds of creative ways, forcing turn with pliers, pumping brakes, fiddling with the hand brake -both the actual handle and the arm on the caliper that the cable pulls wich moves easily. I guess I´m looking at changing the whole thing... Well at least I now have the tools and know how for next time it´s brake changing season :) Thanx for the help though. I learned stuff!

Useful, especially concerning the very loud beeping-for-no-reason thing, because even Peugeot garages couldn't explain why it's doing it sometimes. However, I still have a question: I have a Partner Tepee 1.6 Hdi from 2016 and there's a small black sensor-looking thing protruding from the middle stop light at the top of the tailgate and you wouldn't happen to know what it's for, by any chance? I know there's one like it on the underside of the passenger door rear view mirror for monitoring outside temperature (and BTW you better make sure, if need be, to replace your rear view mirror with one that has it, otherwise your car computer won't work and will start showing a slew of warnings - because it needs it to monitor the engine temperature and other things, so I don't think there are two of them.)
