• Citroen ZX handbrake 30 Jan 2001 (Forum)
  When the back of my ZX hatchback is loaded and I go over a bump the back brakes come on. I can feel this through the handbrake lever when the car is 'bounced' when stationary. Any ideas?
• Jaguar I-Pace - I-Pace nightmare? how to get solution/justice? 14 Aug 2025 (Forum)
  I was wearing normal footwear, no health issues, no obstacles or doormats on pedals or anything like that and had a few terrifying seconds of trying to pump the brakes, hit the brakes anything with the brakes while steering into the safest option - i.e. smashed over the roundabout where the vegetation slowed me down as well as the loss of a couple of tyres. Police closed a lane and got me recovered and I had to report to insurance who arranged via their garage to replace a couple of tyres and maybe gave the car a polish (surprised not more damage but could be lack of a thorough check by them).

• Mini Cooper S Coupe - Second hand car problems from purchase 30 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  You drove the vehicle, heard the brake noise and I was again told the brakes would resolve themselves even though the mini had covered many more miles and that there was sufficient depth on the pads. I draw to your attention that it is not sufficient that the vehicle is merely roadworthy and safe the requirement extends to other matters besides safety and roadworthiness.

  "It takes several seconds to move a right foot from accelerator to brake". HJ, you know that's not true, so why write it? Perhaps you could also finally explain why drivers of manual transmissions don't appear to suffer "pedal confusion" to the same lethal degree?

• New M6, Colt 3-dr, Lancer, Passat 16 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  I've read elsewhere that the new Passat will have "an electronic parking brake". Not seen any more detail than that, but I don't feel entirely comfortable with the idea...!

• xtrail - servicing 26 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  I am due for brake fluid and fuel filter change. Rather than pay main dealer rates, can i use my local garage, but ensure my warranty is still valid. I would be asking for Nissan parts for the filter.

• Horse Power 26 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Showing my ignorance I know but where does "brake horse power" come from? My bike is 95bhp - does it mean it could drag 95 horses down the road? Seems a bit improbable. Has anyone tested this claim by the manufacturers?!
