• 96 Jeep Grand Vherokee - Brakes not releasing 29 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  after a short period of driving brakes begin to bind and heat up. Further driving will heat pads and brakes extreme. Pedal moves up and begins to get tight requiring minimal pressure to syop completly, If slowing down at about 5mph brakes will self engage and bring vehicle to a stop then partially release. have tried complete brake bleed and fluid replacement, caliper replace, calip check, replaced proportioning valve, checked master cylinder, replaced ABS, now at a loss for ideas.

  We have a good manual, front wheel drive 1.8 estate which we have had for several years and are very pleased with.

• Another driver locked up [Read only] 9 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  Driver who killed father and son and injured mother on M62 jailed for 2 lots of 8 years (concurrent). Ploughed into the back of the family's Punto whilst driving an Audi Q7 at high speed, over the limit and masturbating at the same time. He had already been reported by a motorist for wildly erratic driving. Wish it had been consecutive. He also got a 15 year ban but I don't suppose this will worry him too much.
