  I was just driving onto the return ferry at Calais on Saturday night fully loaded with goods for personal consumption when I pulled on the handbrake and felt a loss of all resistance. Immediate thought was the cable\'s snapped. Crew very helpful though - I left it in Park and they chocked
• Is it terminal? Carlton Rear Diff. 14 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Hi again everyone The diff on my \'K\' reg Carlton CDX is \'shusshing\'.....not exactly a whine or howl, but it does alter pitch (the \'shusshing\' noise that is) depending on car speed. It stops, or should i say becomes inaudible, after about 25mph. It\'s not LOUD, loud...but the cars so quiet i

  So after recently having new discs and pads, I have found that the N/S front calliper is a little sticky and gets very hot after a few miles on an A road drive. It got to the point where after about 5 mins up the motorway the steering wheel began to judder, and even more so after braking
