• Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 16-11-2019 Part 2 17 Nov 2019 (Forum)

• Ford Galaxy - Brakes fault finding master cylinder calipers 4 Aug 2011 (Forum)

• Citroen - 98 1.9D LX- braking issues 17 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  in the car there was far more travel in the handbrake than there was before. It was now coming up 8 clicks.

  ), and yet again, I'm at the hands of the wonderfully competant Renault support staff. Around 16,000 miles, the rear brakes started to squeal under moderate braking. This was most noticeable when braking up to a roundabout under normal conditions; the squeal started at around 30-40mph, and continued until

  Hi, I have a year 2000 Mk2 Ford Mondeo with a brake problem. Firstly, I have upgraded to 300mm discs that were standard on Mk3 Mondeos, and Mk3 front calipers.  I know these aren't standard parts but I don't believe in any way that this is the cause of my problems. I started
• My Almera brakes are worn out already 2 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  to wait until I have time to slow to crawl speed before turning in. However, the bad news is that the Nissan dealer tells me that my front and rear brake disks are badly corroded and worn, and need replacing: the bill (with pads and labour) looks likely to top £400. Ouch! If they need replacing

  , After a recent driveshaft/wheel bearing change on my R-Reg 1.4XR, I found that the OS brake is now binding.
