• Ford Escort (1990 - 1992) - 1991 mk5 1.3 bleeding brakes nightmare! 12 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  Hi all and hope you can help me as I am desperate. Whilst bleeding the brakes to replace the fluid, I have run into a few problems concerning the rear brake drums. I use a bleeding kit that works off the tyre pressure. I raised the right rear, removed the wheel, unscrewed the bleed screw....no fluid coming out.

• VW Caddy intermittent brake binding 28 Jul 2023 (Forum)
  For a while now have been having this intermittent problem of the o/s front brake binding. Seems no rhyme nor reason for it and doesn't seem to need the brakes being used for it to start happening. I say this because the other morning I could feel it starting to drag about 7 miles away from home, during which (through a combination of observation, care and luck!)
• Renault Clio RS line 20 reg - Autonomous Braking 5 Jul 2021 (Forum)
  Hello, I Purchased the above vehicle with only 4000 miles on the clock, and it is supposed to have autonomous braking. It is switched on according to the very complicated multimedia screen, but there is no evidence that it is working. I have tried with great care approaching the car in front without braking myself, but at the last minute, I have had to brake myself.
• Ford Fiesta 1.2 - How to fix Fiesta sharp brakes? 21 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  The cars done 24K has original discs (not much wear) Recent Ford pads nicely bedded in. Rear shoes half worn. The brakes especially when hot tend to be all or nothing. When pressed that little bit more to slow down more  the brakes are on and grabbing hard, stopping the car on a sixpence - really vicious. Is there any way I can make the brakes less grabby?
• Peugeot 3008 - Brake Pad change on Peugeot 3008, is it a DIY job? 12 Jan 2016 (Forum)
  I have a Peugeot 3008 1.6 HDi "Sport" (laughable really how they can call it that) and I've owned it for 18 months. The brake pads, at least in the front, badly need changing. It's a job I usually do myself, but someone told me that I won't be able to change the brake pads front and rear myself as the computer needs to be reset.
• Peugeot 307 SW - How to replace brake fluid 7 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  Hi all, I have a 2003 model Peugoet 307 SW 1.6 petrol. It has been a long time that the brake fluid hasn't been changed. I have two peugeots and I have done all the necessary maintenance jobs by myself so far. So I am guessing that I can also replace the brake fluid. I have already bought a bottle of genuine brake fluid for the car but I need some guidlines about how to properly replace it.
• Peugeot 406 (1999 - 2004) - hdi rear brake calipers 25 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  The rear brakes on my 406 do not seem to be working properly - the inner faces of each disk show signs of corrosion which would suggest that only the outer pads are in contact with the disks when braking. I do remember (but dismissed at the time!)

• Honda Civic - rubbing/vibrating brake pedal 27 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  I left my car for 4 weeks over the winter (freezing conditions, etc.) When I returned, there was a slight rubbing when using the brake that coud be felt through the pedal - almost like there was something stuck on the pad causing it to catch then work properly (much like on a bicycle when the rim is out of alignent). I tried braking hard a few times then normally and it seemed to subside.

• Pug 306 brake lights not working.. 3 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Hello, My step-sisters 98 R Pug 306's brake lights have stopped working. We have chacked all fuses, rear light clusters and wiring around the boot area. It is the rear brake lights and high vis that are not working. Rear head lights, reversing, indicators and foglights all work.
• 1996 Skoda Felicia 1.3 brake 'squeak' 16 May 2005 (Forum)
  Hi 'mechies', Mrs V's car is making an odd noise which we can't trace. On braking there is a little squeal from the front wheels which we know is down to pad wear. However on releasing the brakes there is an odd 'squeak' coming fom the rear of the car just as the pedal is fully released.
