• Citroen ZX 1.9D 1997 (Non Turbo) - Changing Bendix Calliper on a Citroen ZX 1.9D 1997 20 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  Any way I tried to initially bleed the brakeds to get rid of some of this spongy brake pedal and you've guessed it, even after soaking the nipples with WD, have managed to snap both of them off!  So I have decided to replace both the font calipers in the hope that I will be able to eradicate this judder and firm up the brakes on this great car!

• Nissan Almera N16 (2003) - Nissan Almera Brake Problems? 25 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  No harsh braking done during this time. Brake fluid changed 6k miles (3 months) ago. Car was in the garage a few weeks ago for an oil change and the pads looked like they had a lot of life in them. However the mechanic did point out some markings on the disc to suggest they will need changing at some point soon.
