My brakes
- Thread starter knip
- Start date
I will do, have told them already that it had new brake shoes and pads less than 18 months ago, and they know I checked the fluid level and that the light inside was coming on. They also know that I looked underneath the car and didnt see anything leaking out of the inside of the wheel, so they cant try and pull a fast one with any of that.
Theyre not looking at it until tomorrow.

Well the car has been in and PASSED its brake test, they stripped everything down and checked for leaks etc. Checked the servo, checked the master cylinder all fine. The drums are fine. Drove it themselves. No brake fluid leak. Nothing. They said its roadworthy and the cant find anything wrong with it. They said I should take it to Vauxhall and get them to plug it into the ECU and see if its an electrical problem with the ABS.
Gawd knows, me am confuddled.

i think that may be the first time Kwik Fit not only not fleeced someone, but also told them their car is fine
Was it one of those "free brake inspection" things?
Cost me 20 quid
Its now booked in to go to Vauxhall on Friday.
The braking is ok when im not travelling fast, like in a traffic jam, the problem occures when im slowing down from high speed (like getting off the motorway onto the slip road) it doesnt seem to want to slow down.

Yup, I had my foot to the floor getting off the motorway and the car wasnt slowing down fast enough (or as it usually would)
