  the previso that if anything is wrong with it they would fix it. I am wandering what happened with the MOT though as I have already had a brake looked at by the dealer that was squealing and also there was a rear brake light out so it sounds to me as thought the MOT was done without any
• ABS - contradiction 12 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  my Passat took. However, when watching I was puzzled by what I feel through the brake pedal and what I see at the wheel. With ABS triggered, the brake pedal goes very firm and buzzes under your foot. The buzz is at least 30Hz. However, the wheel is actually locking, releasing, and locking again
• Skilled driving 11 Apr 2009 (Forum)

  I've recently got a Mazda 6 2.0D 2003 and I'm finding a weird knocking feeling in the steering wheel when moving at low speeds when turning to the right. Seems to happen more after braking and during braking (turning right). I've had all arms checked but no difference has been made. I remember
• Pattern parts 18 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  and bottom and tighter fit in the housing, pressure rise back to normal. I bought the non Ford filter at a factor as I was buying front brake pads, these must be softer than the original pads as the braking is slightly improved, probably wont last the 50K the original pads lasted. Win some, lose some

  on the front brake discs (which were only six months old at the time). No mention of that this time. Had several other ,often non existent, problems pointed out (low brake fluid-not). Feels like the advisories are being used to alarm punters into getting work done.

• Mechanical sympathy 17 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  My brother and I are at odds over the way we drive. I tend to concentrate on making my driving smooth, particularly when changing gear and braking, and he insists that this will lead to more wear and tear on the clutch and brakes. He, on the other hand, tends to make his gearchanges abrupt
• Etiquette 3 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  What do backroomers do at traffic lights at night? I only ask as I normally turn my headlights off if I am in a queue, and also take my foot off the foot brake once the car behind has stopped. I do this because I think I am being courteous, and reducing dazzle for other road users. The dazzle

• Cause of motorway congestion? 3 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  . Is it all down to the ripple effect of someone pulling into an overtaking lane and the guy behind having to brake?

• CR-V Towing? 25 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  with trailer brakes. The USA brochures and websites for the CR-V however only give one figure: 1500 LBS. This would seem to equate to the 600KG unbraked limit but is it safe to pull up to 1500KG / 3000LBS on a US CR-V if the trailer is double axled with its own braking system? Or are US CR-Vs incapable
