COMMON NOVA FAULTS

[Dave]

had a braking problem the other night, the slider had jammed in the caliper, was talking to a mate an he said this is meant to be a common fault on the caliper what other common faults are there?

yes you have shitty delco calipers.
Change them for ATE ones- either late nova ate ones, or bigger astra ates with bigger discs.

in my current frame of mind I'd say list whats right with the nova!

:evil:

However common faults imo are -

rusting arches/boot (early models), door bottoms rusting, early delco brakes seizing/sticking, poor brakes on lower models, interior noise above 60mph (poor sound proofing), sh1te on cold starts (winter) regardless of air box fitted and unknown leaks in passenger/driver footwells.

Other than that its sound. Not bad for an oldish car

ironically that's what i had planned to do i've had the ate calipers in my garage for about 3 weeks, nova comes off the road tonight and was gonna do them next week, think they wanted revenge for it!
