• BMW 320D 2004 - Problem with teves mk60 6 May 2012 (Forum)
  Hi, I am aware with the brake pressure sensor with the teves mk60, but I have two external brake pressure sensors. So my question is can I just replace the external sensor or there is another internal sensor which breaks?

• Vauxhall Astra - New Brake Pads/ Discs 7 Feb 2024 (Forum)
  Any advice from anyone with any car/ mechanical knowledge would be a great help here. My wife took her car to a local garage for an MOT. It failed on a tyre and I quote - “service brake fluctuating front”. So two reasons. She queried what that would be to fix this and they stated they didn’t know until they investigated this. They would need to re- test the car to get it through its MOT and look at the brake fault then.
• Brake Pedal Creep on Vauxhalls 21 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Nor can I imagine why anyone would design a system to do that! On the other hand, it seems that thousands of brand new Vauxhalls are being sold with brake pedals that sink "to the floor" within seconds, and NO ONE SEEMS TO NOTICE! This is the most bizarre problem I have come across in 48 years driving" I refuse to believe that anyone in his right mind would design a brake system to do this - quite apart from the safety and lack of confidence aspects, how can drivers control braking properly if the pedal keeps moving down - and what happens in a high speed stop, when the pedal hits the end of travel - inevitably taking some of the availble foot pressure - before the car stops?
