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.

    Brake discs

    I recently took my MG4 SE for its first service at the dealership who informed me to check in six months that I my may need to replace my brake discs. Is this normal after only 4,500 miles? Are they made of Weetabix or cardboard? I have run discs up to 30,000 miles in the past and replaced them...

    MG 5 - Car "dies" in traffic queue with manual parking brake applied

    I have a two and a half year old MG5 long range and on two occasions (several weeks apart) I have been waiting in traffic with the manual parking brake applied and when I try to move off (by just pressing the accelerator) nothing happens! I can't be sure but I think the heating fan stops but the...

    The Late Brake Show makes a good point about the MG4

    So basically if you're considering the Honda e:Ny1 EV, then for £20k less you can get an MG4. Or alternatively, when you can get a Tesla for the same money, who in the hell would buy an e:Ny1?

    Park brake motors burned out (service mode)

    Late 2020 MG ZS EV, approx 60k miles. Hi, I recently had my rear brake pads replaced at my local garage. They advised me that there was now a warning light on the dash (autohold fault). Not only that, but the parking brake also doesn't work, meaning I had to put logs behind the wheels to stop...

  6. Something positive for a change

    I've never seen this before, but when you come off the throttle, the brake lights activate. I've never seen this before.

    Accelerator pedal stuck down!

    On my way to work I accelerated at a roundabout, not especially hard and quickly realised it was continuing to accelerate despite me not wanting to. I was able to use the brake but every time I took my foot off the brake it accelerated alarmingly quickly. I should point out I didn't have any...

    Can I adjust the pedal position/location?

    Hi. I'm in Australia, and had a test drive here. For me, one of the most disappointing things was the pedal location. The brake and the accelerator are both in the middle. Does anyone know if I can move the pedal to further right? I was keep pressing down the empty space on the right side of...

    I used the parking brake !!

    Having had the car for 2 years and a ZS EV before that for a year I had never used the parking brake switch on either car until this last weekend. :) I had always found the footbrake, Autohold and Park to cover all my needs for holding the car when stopped. However for some reason sat at lights...

    Good Afternoon. I have a 2022 HS that covered approx 15000 kilometres. The park brake engages automatically when the ignition is switched off and normally disengages when brake button is pressed down. This morning, the brake did not release and I had to put the car into Drive and press the...

    Mk2 brake lights flashing every few seconds

    I was following a mk2 today on a 40mph road for several minutes. When there were no other cars infront (potentially activating its adaptive cruise control), it’s brake lights very briefly flashed on roughly every 5 seconds. It would've been very interesting if I’d have been able to ask them...

    Reverse Delay

    If I put the car in reverse and take my foot off the brake, it takes 3-4 seconds before the car will start moving backwards. However if something is within range of the parking sensors then it will start moving instantly as the brake is released. Is this normal behaviour?

    Electronic Diff Lock

    Hi, I'm looking at the MG EV. Coming from a Suzuki S-Cross Allgrip, and living in a rural location, moving back to 2 wheel drive is one significant downside. I wondered if the MG has any form of cross-axle traction transfer capabilities? Many vehicles will apply the brake to the slipping wheel...
