Same car had incorrectly numbered dual filament bulbs forced into the sockets front parking and rear tail. These did not line up properly with the contacts (of course), and caused odd lighting problems throughout the vehicle. The previous owner claimed the typical "electrical gremlins theory" while it was actually due to incorrect and improperly installed parts.
Overheating of the front brakes caused the front tires to thump, which led same owner to conclude that radial tires installed on the car were a big mistake.
Having non-qualified mechanics work on the car, and/or jumping to conclusions without thorough research is a fast way to spend lots of money and end up with a poor performing vehicle.

If anyone does try this it would be a good idea to jack the car up afterwards and check the brakes are not binding. From memory it required only a very small adjustment to produce that result.
