• Astra Vibration 24 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  I have an Astra 1997 estate, when I brake around town everything feels fine but when I brake from above 50mph I get a severe vibration through the brake peddle and the steering wheel.

  Hi ,I'm after more help again. I've changed front and rear brake pads on my BMW 320D (E46)a few weeks ago, but the warning light still remains on. Anyone know, does it need re-setting by BMW, or have I just not made a good enough connection with the sensors?? Thank you

• Ibiza brakes - too good? 15 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  The wife's '54 reg. Ibiza 1.2 5 door is a great car. However, the brakes seem to be either on or off with nothing much in between. Slowing down for speed humps is a nightmare as I usually put everyone through the 'screen. Can this be rectified somehow or do we have to 'live with it'? The car I
• dodgy high level brake light : MOT fail? 30 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Ho hum....SWBO's Omega estate is due for an MOT next week; just noticed that the LED brake light built into the rear spoiler only has a couple of the dozen or so LEDs working. Do I need to get my soldering iron out pronto; or is this OK for the MOT?

  1. Min thickness for front brake disks (98 Laguna 1.6RT - vented) . where can I find such information - there doesn\'t seem to be a Haynes manual for this. 2. Showroom has been somewhat enthusiastic with polish, leaving a lot white deposits on the black trim. How do you remove it? Any advice

• Renault Clio - Rubbing noise when braking at low speed to stop 26 May 2024 (Forum)
  Hi, I have started to notice a new faint rubbing sound on my brand new clio when braking from low speed of about 5 mph to come to a full stop. The car has done about 1600 miles so I assume the brake should be bedded in by now. It doesn’t sound like metallic which could happen if a pebble would

  Bought in late 2019 prior to the pandemic has kept our mileage low at 9000 so far. Very early on we experienced a hunting/ hopping feel when braking or coming to a full stop. Reported at each of the 2 services. Initially we were told that rust had built up on brake discs because of the low mileage
• Vauxhall Zafira B - Brake and rear lights not work 25 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  Everything electrical works perfectly except yesterday I noticed the main brake lights had stopped working, bulbs are fine, all connections I can check easily are good and the high level brake light works? I then realised the rear lights are also not working (same bulbs) as I said everything
• Volkswagen Golf - VW Brakes Pulling Unpredictably 18 Apr 2017 (Forum)
  After many years I'm just wondering if anyone else had a problem. In the 1980s I owned, I think 3 new Polos and 3 new MkII Golfs over probably 6 years . I did a lot of M6 cruising and always the brakes pulled unpredictably to one side or the other (wet and dry) when braking behind

• 2003 VW polo 1.4 - Rear brake rip-off? 24 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  Hi, Just went to the garage and my rear off side brakes were all corroded.  They said the wheel wasn't turning properly.  I know nothing about cars but it looked pretty rusty.  Apparently it needs full new assembly - housing, discs calipers etc.  The bloke told

• Renault Megane (1996 - 1998) - 96 1.6 Car been runnning on low brake fluid 9 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  Only had my car 2 weeks but a garage pointed out that the brake fluid level is insufficient. It is just below the min mark but should be nearer the max mark. I have been told that whilst driving with low fluid air could have got in to the system and it would need bleeding at a cost of £25
