So just had my second service just under 12300 miles covered mostly motorway & I've had to have new front pads.

WTF, never have brake pads worn so fast and I'm a driver that uses engine braking.

What at are other people's thoughts on the Pads?

I've replaced mine with Delphi ones I know Delphi make them for Vauxhall but I hope they are better.

Hi,

I have a 2012 J, 1.4 Turbo, 28k.
I have had a brake noise for a while, not your usual squealing noise but more of a shim noise, anyway, today I was braking from around 30mph to 0 and I had a loud clicking noise coming from the brake? I wasn't breaking hard, I have no lights etc on the dash but the noise was strange.

I'm going a 10min drive later and will see if its still there and if it is, I'll take all pads out tomorrow for a clean, as they have a lot of meat left on them!

Was wondering

My boot has water where the spare wheel is and I've now figured out, it's coming through the High Level Brake Light in the Centre, has anyone removed this ok without chipping the glass? the 2 bolt's behind it are welded can't figure out how to remove the glass break light? Thanks

I've got a 2011 sports tourer and my rear drivers side brake light has an error. If I remove the light and move the wires it works again. Looking to replace the wiring but it's all one unit at £56 just for that... anyone know of a common fault/fix for this? Could just change the whole light.

Anyone have any red reverse/brake lights? I have found the one I need on ebay for £40 (£20 for the tinted one) but I'm after the red none tinted version to replace my damaged one and I'll tint it myself with the spray.

Cheers

First off I'd suggest reading Tucpal's and Rusty's write ups:

What I used:
2 x cans of brake caliper spray paint (from the ever so cheap Halfords)
1 x can of brake caliper cleaner (dependent upon how dirty your calipers are)
Sand paper - rough, medium and soft (a steal from Asda at £1!)
I actually used a mains powered drill with a wire brush attachment but a wire brush will work just as

Hi,
My car is a month old now but 4 times now started car & the bloody things rolled of on its own,has anyone else had this problem or am I a total idiot, It's got one of those horrible button handbrakes if you can call it that ! According to the dealer they cant fault it.
Anyone on here had this problem.
Thanks Chris

Anyone else had problems with the high level brake light mine seem to have stopped working? Any ideas how to try and solve it or is it a new light unit?
