brakes

My brake pedal has become extremely stiff in my Vauxhall combo van when driving, everything was working fine then I popped to the shop, turned the engine off and then back on again to go home and I noticed the brake pedal was really stiff and was basically not working, I also noticed that the...

Hi. The handbrake actuator lever has been sticking a bit so I tried to work the nut with a spanner to free it up, however I have been heavy handed as the nut and top of the bolt (the one that activates the caliper when the handbrake is used) has snapped off. My question is, is it possible to...

SOLVED Replacing front passenger side bearing hub/ABS sensor on my Astra estate and have a seriously rusted part between the hub carrier and the hub (see image). What is that part called? Does anyone have a part number and is it even needed (I can't see anything that attaches to it) Cheers Dan

any idea how much it would be to fix binding brakes? Don’t want to get ripped off as I’m a woman with no idea about cars Been losing fuel like crazy and had a friend of a friend fit me new brakes and pads, he said one side was binding a bit so he fixed the problem, driving all good and my fuel...

This thread is split into two questions: first, my brakes are shocking. The braking power reminds me of a train, under emergencies, it simply does not slow down. I had a slight weeping from the clutch which helped bleed the brakes so it may or may not slow down. However, ever since the slave...

I replaced the front pads on my Zafira, pushed the pistons in slowly before replacing, i bled the brakes and pedal nice and hard, when the engine is running the pedal goes spongy, brakes work but not as good as before, any advice? heard that the seals in the master cylinder can flip, only after...

So the Astra 1.6CDTi SRi went in for the Brake Master Cylinder Recall today. Wife is complaining that the brake pedal used to bite as soon as she touched pedal before Vaux got there hands on it today, now pedal travel is halfway down before brakes bite. She's not a happy bunny. Any ideas guys?

Hello, just wondering if anybody knows if the Haynes manual (2001-2011) will be relevant for a 2014 2.0 dci Renault Trafic? Just asking as I need to replace the rear brake discs and need to know the torque settings. Also for other jobs as well. Many thanks for any advice.

Hi all, Finally got the new gearbox fitted but now this... The traction control light and ABS light is on. I don't have a fault reader so tried to find the problem by putting the brakes on hard on a slippery surface and every single time... The drivers side wheel locks up. Ive checked for...

Hi, my brakes keep sticking in really warm weather. So if the car is left most of the day and the temp outside is 20 degrees plus, the brakes release initially, but after driving for about a minute, the brakes stick on. They have also stuck on and won't release when pulling away. I will then...

Hi all, Looking for a little advice please. Im going to be changing the pads and discs at the back of my vivaro this weekend. Im just wondering if anyone has torque settings for the caliper bolts and the hub nut please? Also, has anyone had any issues that i should watch out for? Cheers Dave

Hi all! Did the rear drums, shoes and adjusters for MOT not long ago. Car's done around 1500 miles since but has developed a strange creaking sound (sounds like when you've got a dry bush) from the read drivers side drum, when braking. Doesn't do it stopping with handbrake, only with pedal...

Hi all It's only been happening these last few weeks but there seems to be a horrendous screeching noise coming from the drivers side wheel, it's hard to tell if it's the front or back. I think it could be something to do with the brakes. I starts after a while of driving around when...

Hi A bit new this, my rear brake (nsr) was making a scraping sound so took the wheel off and caliper and removed the pads, found the pad had nothing left, so while the caliper was free I tried to push the piston back but I couldn't budge it, is this because I had the handbrake on or is it...

Hi all, could I get your opinion? I know this may be the wrong section, however I couldn't find a more appropriate section. I recently had my brakes changed and wanted to know if this was a fair price?
