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. -

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! -

1995 Rover 418 TD (square shape) 31 Mar 2005 (Forum)
On a drive back from the "Auld country" the old girl has developed a braking problem.As the brakes are applied it takes progressively more effort to stop and the pedal gets harder.After releasing the pedal the normal feel returns.I've tried to find a Haynes manual today but there doesn't seem to be one to cover this model (diesel) so I'm reluctant to fiddle about at the moment.Any help/diagnosis much appreciated -
