• Accessible Classic: The Fantastic, Forgotten Citro 5 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  the more mainstream competition? Simple: its advanced construction and unrivalled ride comfort. It had the hydropneumatic suspension and brake system of its larger siblings, disc brakes all ’round, and a newly-developed, high-revving air-cooled four cylinder engine. I drive a 1975
• Transporter, Vivaro, Transit - Small Motor Vans: What you need to know! 14 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  that will fit, will slide irritatingly forward everytime the Micra driver brakes for no apparent reason.  Move to the dashboard though and things start to look up, lots of handy stowage space, neatly shielded from the sun, and plenty of areas that can't be seen by the potential thief.  Two cup holders
• Please help me choose a diesel estate car 25 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  the Signum needs front brakes.   I really hate putting money into the car at this point.   I am already into the car 8,500 Euro including purchase.   So

• Citroen C3 - bad experience with mechanic 3 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  , they didnt look at the spare but looked for the noise and found some bolts that werent done up at all (one was on a joint going to the wheel). Furthmore they explained the brake pads were past the legal limit or recommended limt (i cant honestly remember) and needed replacing and the disks were worn
• Knights of the Road? 30 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  , horn on, lights flashing; and wait for this, actually swerving and trying to undertake me. There is a flamin' FOOTPATH to his left! So, I hastily squeeze back into the right hand lane, thinking "nutter". He goes past, and on go the brakes. Out his little tatooed redfaced mush pokes and I am subjected
• Rear Collision 3 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  type of vehcle it was. The vehicle stopped without apparent warning and I had to brake sharply to avoid hitting the back of it. I was able to stop a few feet short but the car behind didn't manage to do the same. I heard a loud thud but I don't recall feeling any impact. The driver of the car behind
• The WOW experience of a lifetime... 22 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  paddle shift box that actually works to perfection. I'm talking ceramic brakes that rewrite the rule book, and which don't so much shed speed as lose it like pressing a switch: Together with an airbrake on the boot lid, I read some months afo that an SLR will brake to rest from 60MPH in less than 100ft
• Suzuki Vitara - High pitched sound when driving 24 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  ) but suggested it might be from the brakes i.e. the pads or discs heating up after a while and somehow causing the sound - they suggested stripping and cleaning all break pads as a precaution. Which they did but it has not resolved the issue.  I bought the car from a well know UK car reseller
• Peace of change 24 May 2023 (Forum)
  to trade for £800 more than WBAC offered. I’ll miss it, I really rate the wee car. It’s practical, lusty, great on fuel, utterly reliable and comfortable. It never put a foot wrong, other than the high level rear brake light mysteriously unplugging itself. I’m used to stretching out the battery
• Proton GEN-2 - What to do with an old Proton 12 Jun 2021 (Forum)
  to have to sell it and I'm gutted. The engine has started stalling sometimes when putting the clutch down after braking from 30+mph, (either to change gear or come to a stop). Often there is a hill involved when this happens. The revs drop and while the clutch would usually stop the revs

• Abs and handbrake light 10 Nov 2020 (Forum)
  it will come on while driving and the abs light has decided it wants to join in too. Brakes appear to be working fine as well, havnt felt any changes to them. The wheel bearing was a abs bearing (made that mistake with the front ones, this idiot bought non abs ones then wondered why the light was still

• Nissan Juke - Nissan Juke Won't Start 23 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  this type of fault before. From searching other online forums I am aware there is a brake unit fault, which can cause the juke CVT to not start, but the garage say this has been checked and is fine. All advice most welcome. Thanks to all. How8441

  voltage moved to 14.7 volts was when regenrative braking kicked in – (when foot taken off accelerator).   4 Ran B-Max for 3weeks with NO start /stop and minimal other drain on system and the above was repeated-did not re charge battery with smart charger-just let car take care
• Trying the Jaguar E-Pace 17 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  performs quite well, but the acceleration isn't linear and there's a lag followed by a surge.  - After two years of suffering the V60's parking brake, which some tortured Swedish genius elected to place by the driver's right knee, there it is again in the same benighted place in the E-Pace
• B Max - Valuation 4 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  . Nor am I in a position to trade in at a dealer for a new car, so it would have to be "used low mileage" again.  Obviously they have to see the car first to make a final offer, but I have to admit, I'm tempted. The car is clean, having had oil change and new front brakes and tyres since I
