brakes

Hi, I have a Mercedes S350 2010 Diesel, had a experience on Thursday where the brakes went hard and could not stop the car. Recently had a replacement brake pump fitted, Would the vacuum brake pump work if it was either a pump from a petrol or a Diesel?

Hi guys! I'm picking my car up tomorrow for a inlet manifold issue which is hopefully sorted. He has also mentioned that my back brake pipes are corroded and need replaced. He will issue me with a quote for these. What kind of price would or should I be looking at and how long should it take. Thanks

Hi all, About 500miles ago i got the mtec brake pads and ebc green pads (fronts) fitted on - they seem pretty good in terms of general road use, bit of spongy feeling when i got them fitted on but have started to get used to it. Much less brake dest. Here comes the bad part. When i push...

On the motorway, I noticed a pulsating brake pedal and the whole car shaking under moderate braking. I thought my brake disks were warped so booked the car into a local garage for a free brake inspection. They reported that a front wheel bearing was loose, and they had tightened it...

2002 Vito 112 Cdi 120K miles - front brakes seizing partially on and overheating to the point of that smell after 5 minute test drive at low speed. Checked pads and found them 60% worn but not to the point of the warning light wires being in contact with the discs. Could not compress the...

I recently bought my first Mercedes - 2005 W203 220 CDI Elegance - great car quite a few miles (120k) but very pleased with it. On the last MOT there is an advisory for both front brakes which reads "front brake fluctuating but not excessively". I really have no idea what this means, can anyone...

Hi all Looking for some help on my 1992 200e A/T. It failed it's local roadworthy test (MOT) today due to the rear brakes not working properly. All seems fine when driving and reversing as the brakes stop the car with no shudder, judder or any other "udder" :), the pedal does not feel...
