• Vectra brakes ABS compatibility 26 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Hello, does anyone know about Vectra brakes. I've got a problem with my P reg SRi failing the MOT due to excessive travel of the brake pedal. I've had a second-hand master cylinder fitted but the problem still remains. The mechanic has suggested that the replaced master cylinder is faulty but I

• "High level" rear brake lights 1 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Was pootling along behind a MX5 on the way to work, thinking what a nice little car it was except for the bump in the boot lid which contains the high level brake light but also spoils (IMHO) the line of the boot. It then dawned on me that the "high level" light was only about 2 inches higher than

  Got a long w/end ride coming up so today I flushed out the front and rear brakes on my ride with new Dot4 brake fluid (as per da manual), bled them and everything. She's almost 4 years old so about time I guessed. All is fine. My question is (or are!): is DOT4 hygroscopic like Dot3, can I store
• ABS activating when not braking ! 20 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I recently bought a W reg Primera at auction and am very pleased with it apart from an apparent ABS fault. At low speed around 10 mph or less there is a whirring noise from under the bonnet followed by a ratcheting noise. The noise can appear when braking to a halt, when accelerating or when
• Grinding Brakes on Golf 17 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  The rear brake discs on my 7 month old Golf have recently started to grind when applied. The car is going in to VW on Wednesday to be inspected. The grinding has got steadily worse over the last few weeks, which makes me think there is a fault rather than a stuck piece of grit or something. Braking
• Bleeding Brakes 2 23 May 2001 (Forum)
  shame, I was alerted to the problem when Madame (the wife) drove the car. She said "can you adjust the brake pedal, it's too long (!), it nearly goes into the carpet". Thinking about it, I had been unconciously pumping the pedal in normal use. This is a major safety feature of the Synergie, it's so b

• Hyundai i30 - Advice needed- what went wrong? 6 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  So advice needed- not a car expert at all. So yesterday I had my car in the garage thinking it was a wheel bearing issue (ticking and grinding noises when braking- brakes done last year and do about 12-15000 miles a year). Told by garage that no I’m in luck- it’s deposits on the brakes that need
• Audi A4 Avant 1.9 TDi - Brake problems Audi A4 B6 1.9TDI 3 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  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

  /after which the brakes do not work at all. (depressing the brake indeed re-illuminates the "stop" lamp) - I pump the brake several times, and then the rear decides it wants to raise to the correct height. - I then test brakes...eventually they "bite" voilently (probably on third attempt after previous
• Honda Civic - Worn brake pads and sc***ing sound 23 May 2024 (Forum)
  At the last main dealer service in January I was told that all the brakes were around 75% worn so I planned to replace them all later in the year. Today however I can hear a grating noise on and off as I’ve been driving. Car is a 2018 with 33,000 miles on the clock. My question is: Is this grating
