brake
A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system. It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, wheel, axle, or to prevent its motion, most often accomplished by means of friction.
Hi if you drive your EV short or long drives and always use the high settings on regen or 1 pedal driving , turn it off on 1 in every 5 or 6 journeys so the normal braking systems get a bit of use and service. Alot of EVs have electric parking brakes and some EVs get little use so they tend to...
Hi everyone booked my MG3 Hybrid in for it's first fault at 6 weeks since I bought the car there's been an annoying vibration rattle over bumpy roads I noticed today that the cover which covers the high level brake light is loose moving left to right and up and down I don't think they believed...
Hello all, I’m new to this forum although since I collected my new MG3 hybrid I’ve read some interesting articles here. One of which I believe was never definitely answered and that is when using regen3 the car slows rapidly enough to warrant the illumination of the brake lights. The answer was...
Two weeks ago my MG5 stopped working completely with steering lock activated. This is how the problem got resolved...
On a 20 minute drive across my city, I noticed that the rear windscreen washer spray was not shooting up high enough, but thought nothing of it. Due to severe congestion the...
Further to past discussions about brake lights coming on under Regen braking:
I was following a Skoda EV yesterday and I’m pretty sure that only his two outer brake lights were flashing off and on as he lifted his foot, then accelerated. Coming to a complete stop at traffic lights, all the...
"Windscreen reservoir service" - Is this new main dealer bolloxspeak?
I had my ZS EV in for it's service this week and after paying £300.02, I looked over the receipt and asked exactly what they'd done.
He said they'd performed a visual inspection, increased the level of the brake fluid and...
What is the action, interaction and difference between the EPB, Auto hold and HHC - do they all effectively apply the parking brake and release it under the right circumstances or do so in different ways?
Hi
I'm looking for the part number for OUTER BRAKE LIGHT PASSENGER SIDE N/S LEFT SIDE for MG5 SW EV 2020.
Or if anyone has a suggestion where I can purchase one that would be great also. I have looked all over the place but can't seem to source one.
Many thanks
Wanted to ask if anyone has any recommendations for upgrading the Discs & Pads - stock ones are good but noticeably struggling under harder braking.
How would I confirm their sizes and would any disc of that size for the MG4 di, or do you need specific ones?
Had my 45,000 mile third service done today and when booking it in they tried to get me to pay £40 for brake pipe cleaning to prevent future corrosion 🤷. I asked if this would include stripping down and greasing the brakes and they said no.
While it was being serviced they called to say it...
Having read recent posts about the availability of (or lack of) MG4 brake pads, I see GSF car parts have these listed. I entered my reg for a Trophy ER and it shows these as being compatible. I assume the picture is a generic btw. Certainly a much better price than the £260 Brown & gammons want!
Hi All, I have just come back from a day out with kids and wife at an animal sanctuary about 30 miles away. Trip out fine. I drove. On way back I was exhausted half way through journey so swapped with wife (who rarely drives it as it’s my commuting car). I dozed off. When we got back I woke up...
Mg4 se 2022 parking brake sticking on hold. Tried shutting down and opening up a dozen times, on the 13th attempt it was released. Worried about it happening again. Is there a way to release it manually. Thanks in advance
I have read the warranty but couldn't find anything mentioned on the brake cylinder.
Ive just had an error code and the car went into limp mode. The breakdown came and took the error code off and it's not now working fine. The car is in for its service on Friday so I'm wondering if they could...
