brake

Noticed tonight, i kept my foot on the brake when i turned the engine off. When i took my foot off, they went out, but if i pressed the pedal, they came back on, even when the key was out of the ignition. Is this a sign of a electrical fault. No dash lights are on and everything works fine. Any...

Just noticed this yesterday. Before I start pulling things apart I thought I'd ask on here whether anyone else has had this condensation problem and managed to solve it. I guess if it's not sorted the bulbs will start failing as corrosion sets in?

Hi Guys, I have had new pads and discs fitted at the rear. I think they were ATE discs (which are what SEAT use as I understand) and Pagid pads. On reverse they squeel. The brakes have been off and cleaned, copper greased, bit of the pad shaved off etc etc. Its normally worse in the...

Hi guys, ever since i had my clutch cable changed about 4 months ago my brake pedal has been really soft, when you push it hard it hits the floor (it was still pretty soft before the cable change but never hit the floor). I have recently had 3 new calipers and new discs/pads all round and the...

So my tolly v5 has had problems when reversing where it would make a groaning noise from the rear brakes. The car had new discs and pads a year ago but when I checked the brakes a week ago the rear discs were very warped, so I put in another new set of discs. The pads are still nice and thick...
