  Any comments on Channel 4 advert, usually shown in evenings, where a Merc is following a Range Rover, cuts across the camera car, brakes hard on leaving the motorway and leaves great long streaks of rubber on the motorway as a result? I would have thought that if MBs have anti lock brakes

  There is a "STOP Brake Fail" warning that keeps appearing intermittently during driving on my Passat Estate 1.9TDi. Of course the brakes are working and I would like know what should be done. Interestingly, it especially keeps coming on when I turn right while the car is in motion. Anyone
• LED brake lights 25 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  I sat behind a recent Merc S-Class the other day which had LED lights. We were in stop-start traffic in broad daylight and he was using his foot brake nearly constantly. The effect on my eyes was not pleasant. It was almost painful. Perhaps Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover etc should investigate better

• Brakes & MOT 6 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  Another question I really should know the answer to... How much attention is given to brakes during an MOT - do they just check that the car stops, or is there more to it? I know mine are on the way to needing replacement but can't quite afford it at the moment, but the MOT is due on 16th Jan
• Brake fluid change VW 23 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  My VW Passat is due it's 2 year service, the car has only done 15k. VW insist that a brake fluid change be done at 2 years/20,000 miles or the warranty will be invalidated. I know there is a safety issue here but what puzzles me is that other manufacturers don't seem to specify a brake fluid change

  I have a 1997 2litre Nissan Primera. When I push the brake pedal really hard (with the engine running) I can feel the pedal come to a mechanical stop before it is anywhere near the floor. The brakes don't feel really up to the mark under an emergency stop either. I have checked the pedal to floor

  My father's 95 M Toyota Carina E 1.6xi recently was MOT'd and passed, but the tester 'advised' us that the rear brake pipes were slightly corroded. Is this a serious problem, and is it an expensive job? Will corroded pipes have any effect on braking performance? Is it advisable that the pipes
