• Hyunndai i10 - My i10 20 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  I've had my i10 for 2 1/2 years now and it's been good.  The back brakes have an annoying squeak but the dealer says they are aware of the problem, the pad material is too hard apparently.  They have been checked on service and the brakes still work well though
• Honda CR-V - Major problems after used car purchase 7 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  and there were vibrations coming through the steering wheel. These were rectified by the company I bought the car from after I noticed them. Now for the past few weeks my brakes have been starting to squeal. I put it down to them needing some copper grease as I was advised when I purchased the car (still have
• Citroen C5 (2001 - 2008) - 05 2.0HDi Lumpy Idle, Stutter and a few other bits 15 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  Got a few niggly problems with my 112k mile C5 - it's an 05 plate 2.0 HDi - the facelifted version of the MkI C5 with the 136bhp engine. Firstly, from a cold start, the brakes sometimes have no pressure for a minute or so. The STOP light on the dashboard doesn't come on when this happens, so I
• FIAT Panda - Fiat Panda 1.1 Review - "faster than a cockroach" 17 May 2010 (Forum)
  it is actually very nippy but to make good progress you have to rev it a lot in 2nd gear and all the power kicks in. I thought I would mention that under the bonnet is very impressive. The clutch and brake fluid are in seperate containers, the header tank is connected directly to the radiator

• Toyota - Suspicious Californian Lexus Crash 8 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  to make what sounds like quite a long 911 call. (The recording available on the web is apparently 50 seconds long) This implies that the engine could not be shut off, the gearbox could not be put in neutral, the brakes were not effective, and the emergency brake did not work. Though I am not familiar
• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - Servicing - Should the wheels come off? 19 May 2008 (Forum)
  would shift them. Nuts back on loose and driven backwards and forwards did the trick. Now my beef is - should not the wheels be taken off during one of its 3 main dealer services for brake component inspection?? They clearly haven't been off since the car was manufactured! It seems as though
• Citroen AX (1987 -1997) - Dim rear lights, dim mechanic? 14 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  A day or two ago I followed my son's AX through town and noticed the offside brake light was dim. When I saw him again at home, I suggested we investigate, and then subjected him to a Hawkeye masterclass on fault-finding which I certainly won't bore you good people with. When the rack that holds
• Renault Megane W reg ABS problem. 2 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  to be removed in order to remove the electronics module. Removal means bleeding the braking system of course. The Haynes manual does not offer a lot of advice on bleeding. Enquiries have been made at the local Bosch Service Centre and appear to have been met with blank looks. There is a rumour

  outside the car to ensure durability under all conditions. The braking system has also been changed. The 2002 E-Class had a part-electronic mechanism that was the subject of a recall campaign, but this has been dropped. Mercedes says it can now get the same braking effectiveness by conventional means

  Could someone give me a couple of pointers please. Car in question R reg Honda CRV auto. Milleage just under 45,000. Terrain covered - main roads, but also two daily 11 mile round trips in narrow, hilly and winding lanes - often involving pulling on to the grass verges and braking in the face
• Squeaky noise 30 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  , very much like the noise I remember from when people\'s fan-belts were about to fail. Have been trying to establish exactly when and why this happens, at first it seemed to be at low speed and when I changed gear or applied brakes. Now it seem to be happening a lot more, but I can\'t really

• Volkswagen Golf 29 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  I have a 2.5 year old Golf from new. 20,000 miles on the clock. Volkswagen informed me that the brake pads were 80% worn and should be replaced. Okay. BUT they also told me that all 4 discs were badly lipped and must also be replaced. I found this absurd and told them so. I have never had
• Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - 03 1.6 ABS pump 19 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  , but hopefully enlightening. The warning light came on to say that brake pads needed fitting. I had been told by a friend, who is not altogether totally ignorant about cars, that only the front pads are likely to need doing, 'dont have the rear pads done until I look at them, or the discs'. I duly booked
