• Citroen Xsara Picasso - Steering wheel wobble 12 Mar 2015 (Forum)
  inspection that it needed new brake pads and discs and a new track rod end which was loose ... it was probably the play in this causing the problem.   With a new tyre, new track rod end and pair of brakes costing £400 I set off, only to find that the wobble was still there - not now snatching

• All - EU tyre labelling confusion 31 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  Seeing as the new tyre ratings are for rolling resistance, wet braking and noise are about to come into force, I thought I'd check out how my tyres fared. My tyres are 175/70R13T The new Kleber came up with a pretty poor rating: Rolling resistance: F, wet braking: C, noise 69

• Scenic 03 - 1.9 Dci Fidji 23 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Dear all, I have a little problem with the above. Since buying it from the main dealer last year, I have had trouble free motoring until now. Just before I bought the car, Renault fitted new brake pads to the front. However, as the cold weather has started, the breaks make a slight irritating
• Replacing wheel cylinder (all vehicles) 2 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  have heard that I "should" replace both wheel cylinders and also the brake shoes. I can understand replacing both cylinders - if one's leaking, the other probably won't be too long. I don't usually replace central locking motors in sets of four, though. Is the other one really likely to fail next

• Omega Auto Box 6 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  I cannot believe that I am adding to the plethora of Omega threads...... The Boss has got an Omega Auto. 1999 I think it is. Anyway, when one first starts an Omega the display panel says something along the lines of "Brakelight Check" which disappears as soon as you press and release the brake

• Vauxhall Signum - Random EML 15 Jul 2022 (Forum)
  Hi, Hopefully a small, weird one, but I have newly acquired a 1.9CDTI Signum (2006) and noticed one of the brake lights was not working. I’ve reconnected it and the spanner in car light came on. That’s fine, turned ignition off and back on again and it stayed off. However the EML
