  I live at the end of a non-asphalted road and at least once a year have the same problem with a small stone lodging between the brake disc and back plate. I have found that by driving the car a short distance in reverse the stone is sometimes thrown out.

  I wish HJ would stop banging on about left-foot braking, amongst other things. By his logic, manual car drivers must be lethal yet we never hear of such a case. It is just a case of old people driving automatics who should not be driving.

• any - Obstructions on hills 10 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  If there is an obstruction on a steep hill, the convention is that the vehicle coming uphill has priority, irrespective of which side of the road the obstruction is on. Does the same rule apply to trucks? Which is the bigger problem for HGVs-brake fade or clutch wear?

• 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.
