Honda Prelude (90) ABS Fault? 23 Jan 2007 (Forum)
Hi, I collected my car this morning from my local garage, where it was having a MOT retest, a new coil spring and some welding done (to pass the MOT). As I got to the end of the road and braked there was an alarming clicking noise, banging etc from what I imagine was the ABS system. The brake pedal felt odd but I was only driving slowly so took the car round the block and it did this at every stop. -
Primera brakes 9 Aug 2006 (Forum)
My 1999 Primera has discs all round and 54k on the clock. It has recently developed a slight kick in the brake pedal as the car comes to a stop. It is not bad but is noisy and irritating. Having taken advice I have changed all 4 discs and pads but it still the same. I now suspect that it is the ABS system which thinks one of the wheels is locking up and so kicks back. -
EBA and ESP 29 Mar 2006 (Forum)
The system is sometimes known as Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)." I have always thought of ESP and EBA as different systems albeit using some common sensors. Any thoughts? -
Deciphering MOT brake result shorthand 11 Apr 2005 (Forum)
SWMBO's 306 passed its MOT this morning, but I'd like to know what the comments written on the brakes portion of the check list mean. My assumption is that the (L) refers to the point of wheel lock, but I don't know what the values themselves mean. I'm not surprised that there is some imbalance, because I fitted new discs and pads on Saturday, since when the car has been driven barely ten miles to bed them in! -
Honda CR-V brakes and gearbox 1 Jun 2004 (Forum)
I have a 2003 model CR-V with 14k. From time to tme there is a clicking sound which seems to come from the rear brakes. i have read somewhere that there is a 'fix' for this quirk. Needless to say my local main dealer knows nothing about this. Also, I seem to be able to 'beat' the synchro when changing from 1st to 2nd. -
rear fog lights 19 Dec 2002 (Forum)
Wed 17 Oct 01 17:39 I wrote to the transport minister about this last year - I nearly went into the back of someone on a wet dark M1 'cos I didn't notice brake lights - a car should NOT have TWO rear foglights close to brake lights - I think it should be illegal. Sensible manufacturers only fit one, presumably for this reason. ........have we made any progress? -

Safety features 17 Jun 2016 (Forum)
A lady wrote to the New Scientist magazine saying that her car is equipped with a feature that applies the brakes if there is a risk of colliding with the vehicle in front. Recently, she wrote, a bird flew in front of her car when she was travelling at speed and the car applied the brakes in an emergency manner. -

Waiting with a TC automatic gearbox 3 Dec 2015 (Forum)
[endif]--> When you get to a set of lights which are on red, you can leave the gearbox in Drive and wait there with your foot on the brake, rather than engage Neutral and put the handbrake on. What's happening in the gearbox when you do that and are there any important long-term consequences? I know some people get annoyed by brake lights in front of them in this scenario, but I don't, so I'm not interested in a discussion on that aspect. -

Saab 900 convertible 1993 - ABS light sometimes on sometimes off 9 Dec 2013 (Forum)
Sometimes the ABS light comes on and stays on, sometimes it comes after I've been drving for a bit, sometimes it comes on and then goes off the next time i start up. Once i had a stiff brake pedal and other times the car inches forwards when I break. But mostly it brakes OK. Just a little unnerving! -

Vauxhall Meriva A MPV (2003 - ) - 03 1.6 Squeaky front wheel 4 Oct 2009 (Forum)
It appeared to start after I had jetwashed the crud off the front suspension, so maybe Ive washed the grease out of a bearing? Dont think its brakes coz it carries on when the brakes are applied, but any other ideas would be welcome. -
