    Hi guys, I have a friend wanting me to do their front brakes. I am seeing two options for the discs and pads on both Euro Car Parts and GSF, 276mm (15 inch rims) and 300mm (16 inch rims). The car has 17 inch rims (225/45R17) and I do not currently have access to the car to measure the disc...

    Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. My front calipers are rattling like mad. I've replaced and relubed the slider pins, replaced the pad clips and everything else I could but they still do it. It seems like there's too much play in the sliders. Now, someone has...

    Hi all, I've just bought my first vivaro which was apparently just motd. However after my mechanic done an inspection, he's found the following issues. Is this going to be a nightmare? I'm a hobbyist mechanic and can do some things myself. Any info or advice is much appreciated!! O/s drop...

    Hi, I have a 2003 1.2 Petrol Corsa (Non ABS) that has repeatedly failed MOT on the NS Rear brake. I have replaced brake lines, flexi hoses, wheel cylinders, shoes and the handbrake cable assembly. Replacing the shoes improved the issue very slightly but not nearly enough. The shoes took me...

    Is there ABS on the '58 1.3ctdi 5 door hatch Life model? There's an ABS check light on the dash when turned on, which goes out with the other lights when started. Other than there's nothing I can see too indicate either way.

    Does anyone know the sequence to enter service mode for replacing discs? I've seen videos for other models but nothing for insignia a. It's 1.6cdti 136, facelift and elite model if that makes any difference.

    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...

    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...

    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! 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...
