Few LCR issues I've noticed - Anyone encounted these?

[Deleted member 20376]

On my LCR ive noticed that when im driving im getting a clunking noise from the driver door. it sounds as if when you hit a bump the door hinge creeks. well i think its the door hinge. is coming from the middle post on the drivers side. has any1 else had this problem.

ive also noticed when my heater is on warm if i go round a roundabout and it blows cold air out then goes back to warm.

other thing is i opened my boot and the plastic surrond seems to be loose on one side. how easy is it to take off and have a look if its clipped in properly or clips r missing. dont want to rip it off and brake something.

does anybody know where to get the rear brake upgrades to stop the rear brakes from making a donkey noise. ive searched and there is only mention of them coming from seat but my dealer said there discontinued.

thank you in advance.

Can't help with the door hinge noise or the heater but the plastic sourround has clips, try bashing this in various loose areas, this might solve the problem, if it doesn't you will need to pull hard to get this off. Be sure you have the two screws in the pull down handles removed first aswell.
My brakes don't make a noise and these don't have the so called upgrade. Plenty copper grease does the job too

to be honest i think the brake pads n disc r shagged they look cheap to i havent changed them rear ones. think im gunna upgrade them when i have a service. get sum nice shiney new ones.
ill have a look on the boot. its only on one side. before i had the car they windows had been tinted im thinking he may of not put the plastic back on properly.

Sounds possible or they have broken the mounts

everythings back on properly ive had them cleaned out loads of times and still not look. put copper grease oin them and its fine for a bit.
the actual mounts are brand new.

Have you double checked your coolant levels, with re to blowing cold air?

 

[Deleted member 20376]

coolant is fine. i havent noticed it for a while now, but maybe i have just got used to it.
would this of made a differance if it was low then?

 

[Mark300zx]

On some cars when the coolant gets low the heater blows cold, I don't know about the LCR in particular but it may indicate an air lock?
