    EBC Brakes on CL203

    Hey guys, I changed my front pads and discs about a year ago to eicher discs and pads but I don't feel like the car is stopping as well as it should. I don't baby my car and I drive it as it should be driven, there's also a lot of terrible drivers around my area so the need to stop fast when...

    Vito 638 (02 plate) Front Brakes

    I've suddenly started having a grinding noise when braking so I assume it's time for some new pads on my van... I've sourced the pads and had a good look at the braking system which seems to be in pretty good condition (including the discs). Before I start I wonder if someone could give me...

    Wobbly Brakes 203

    After talking about my wobbly brakes I popped down to the car to see when I had them changed, I looked at the invoice and noticed something a little worrying at the bottom. So I'm guessing this maybe causing a wobble? and where do I get new bolts from?

    A-class A160 clunking brakes

    Hi there, my 2012 A-class A160 has brakes that clunk or graunch at the point of stopping. By this I mean there's noise as it comes to rest. There is also a bit of a clunk when the brake is released. The problem is intermittent, get it most when the car has not been used for a few days, but...

    Clunk noise from front brakes SLK55

    Hi guys, I can hear a slight clunk noise coming from the front brakes when I press the brake pedal. It doesn't happen all the time and can only hear it when the window is open. Is it anything I need to be worried about? Thanks

    Big thanks to the guys at PCS

    I went in complaining of a groaning noise coming from the nearside rear. They diagnosed the cause as a worn brake pad and the cause of the cause as a seized caliper. The solution: a new pad to replace the worn one, another new pad on the other side, a new disc because of the scoring, the same...

    Fidgety brakes?

    My brakes sort of fidget before coming to stop - it tends to happen when they're heated up in traffic for a while. The discs and pads are new (Jurid), its also recently had front springs and ball joints/arb bushes. I'm thinking it has to be the calipers? Thought I should check as they are...

    211 rear brakes binding

    Last week I had my rear discs and pads replaced (on my 2003 E320 CDi) at a tyre service depot. Since then the pads are permanently rubbing against the discs. The discs are getting hot on any journey over a few miles and the fuel consumption has nose dived - unsurprisingly. When I returned the...
