Vauxhall Astra G Petrol - Handbrake Problem 9 Nov 2010 (Forum)
I have a problem with the handbrake on my Astra. When I apply the handbrake it only goes on at one side and wont release until I reach behind the rear wheel and pull on the cable. I suspect that there is a problem with the linkage somewhere below the hand brake lever i.e. one side disconnected -

My Golf has recently started to make a loud blowing noise (like a tractor or exhaust blowing) when going over 70mph. Today however once I came off the motorway and travelled at a 30 it was making a metallic screeching noise. At first I thought it maybe the brakes but the car does not pull to one -

Old, Crude Off-Roaders 11 Apr 2009 (Forum)
was a nightmare and braking from speed a lottery. At least I hadn't bought a Vauxhall Frontera! Maintenance was so easy because you could slide under the vehicle without jacking it up to inspect everything. 4x4s are so sophisticated these days. So sophisticated that nobody dares risking them in the rough stuff. -

Accelerator control. 19 Dec 2008 (Forum)
or stop (smooth progression). I know it is simple and logical but how often do you see people blast away from a hold up only to brake heavily at the obvious one just up the road? I was taught that accelerator control is as important as clutch control, is it taught today in either car or HGV training? -

Vauxhall Corsa C (2000 - 2006) - 06 1.4 CD player with a mind of its own 1 Oct 2008 (Forum)
Hi Guys, My Daughter has an '06 Corsa which the CD player seems to make its own decisions about its volume. When you brake the volume decreases - when you speed up the volume increases!!! Fortunately it doesn't increase much but it can be 'irritating'. The car is still under manufacturers warranty -
