  When I brake, the brake lights stay, if I pull the pedal back, the lights go off but the engine starts reving its head off. It's the same when driving:...

• Seat Cordoba - Brake Lights Not Working 9 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  I have a 96 Cordoba and the brake lights are not working. Have checked the fuses and they are ok and have also changed all the bulbs. Thought it may have been the brake light switch so replaced that but still have no brake lights.
• Bleeding brakes - mondeo 15 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Just read another post about bleeding the clutch when you do the brakes. I am about to bleed my brake system and refill with new fluid. How does one bleed the clutch on an 02 plate TDCi mondeo? Presume it shared same system as brakes?

• Peugeot 307 - Issues with brakes after new rear discs and pads 14 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  Unless I'm braking hard, the braking feels otherwise normal. Can anyone advise why the new brakes may feel this way? The front brakes were recently fitted (by another garage) and this issue did not occur with them.

  2006 Prius brakes squeak intermittently during normal driving then scream blue murder during braking. Any ideas ?
• Mazda MX5 - Brakes sticking - should my mechanic have spotted? 4 Mar 2014 (Forum)
  Just been told my MX5 has failed its MOT as the front offside brake is sticking. I'm worried that my mechanic should have already spotted this, as I took my car in just 12 days ago because the brakes weren't working (barely any resistance on brake pedal, plus swerving when braking).

• Fiesta brakes 2 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  This may seem like a strange post, but I'm curious as to why , under heavy braking (ie emergency stop scenario) the brakes on my 98 Fiesta (solid disc front,drum rear,no ABS) DON'T lock up! Every other car I've had (all sizes, apart from ABS equipped ones obviously) lock their brakes in the dry as well as the wet if you brake hard enough (Not that I do this all the time, you just get a feel for when its going to happen!)

• Honest John’s Motoring Agony Column 10-03-2018 Part 2 17 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  Ref the question ' Pressing matter'. The comment about left foot braking on automatics. Will the automonus city braking prevent a runaway incident where the accelerator is pressed instead of the brake? I have a Kia Niro with this automonous braking feature, and because the parking/emergency brake is foot operated I do not consider left foot braking an option.
• Nissan Micra K11 - Brake Light Electrical Problem 5 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  A little problem with my Micra... When the headlights are off and i press the brake pedal, the brake lights work but the side lights also come on. When the headlights are on and i press the brake pedal, the brake lights work but are very very dim, probably illegally so. I'm sure i can sort the problem myself, its just directing the hammer to the right part... :) Iain
• Nissan Micra - Brake imbalance in Rear Brakes 2 May 2010 (Forum)

• Renault Megane (1999 - 2002) - 02 1.4 16V ABS; Pulsing upon braking 5 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Just bought a 2nd hand Megane. When braking gently to a halt I can hear and feel a pulsing on the brake pedal just for the last second or so until car stops. No problem with braking function and it doesn't happen on hard braking, just a bit irritating, anyone got any ideas?!
• Brake Fluid 16 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  A general brakes question, not to do with my own car (despite a brake thread a few days ago. ;-) The hydraulic disc brakes on my mountain bike can use either Dot 4 or Dot 5.1 fluid. At the moment they're actually running on a mixture of both as I bled them a few weeks ago.
