• Mercedes C220 CDI Auto (2004) - Second hand car brake judder/vibration 8 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  Could it be that that the car has been sat for a while on the forecourt and just needs the brakes using abit? I would have thought that a brake problem would have been identified on the MOT that morning.  Many thanks    
• Citroen C3 - Brake problem 2 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  They test drove and  brakes were fine. Daughter continued her journey without incident. Been ok since. Car is a basic 1.1 petrol and I think the brakes have servo assistance. I'm telling her to get them checked out she agrees but is worried that could be an open cheque.

• Vauxhall Vectra B (1995 - 1999) - 99 2.0 Grinding noise on braking 18 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  When I rotate the rear wheels (handbrake off, gear selector in neutral), they spin for about five or six revolutions before coming to a halt, but produce the grinding sound that I hear, although not as loud as when I'm braking. If I brake hard there is no noise and the brakes are effective. Any ideas?

• Bleeding brakes 15 May 2001 (Forum)
  I have been spoiled by owning green-fluid Citroens where the system pressurises itself if the engine is running and the brake pedal propped "open". Fluid changes and brake bleeding were a simple one-man operation:-) Any comments much appreciated.
• Electronic parking brake. 16 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  I had a renault scenic hire car some time back, thought I'd give it a go on an empty road at about 15mph. It braked as though an elephant had left foot braked! If you have, are all these systems the same?
