    Is there a motorised lock which stops you starting the car without your foot on the break?

    auto brake pedal

    It's hard to explain its more like mecanical intervention. There is no problem with the breaks other than occasionally right at the end of breaking for example a few feet away from a junction. The servo is fine and it's not abs pulse. Its like there is a physical restriction I will wait for when...

    auto brake pedal

    When coming to a stop it sometimes feels like I'm pushing against something like a rod which won't let me get to the end of the pedal travel and is stopping the brakes having their full effect. Anyone had this before? It almost feels like the pedal lock is kicking in or like I'm fighting...

    Disco 1 Another 300tdi starting problem thread

    Of you have time whip the starteroff and clean it all out. Is it slow to turn when you first try from cold? Are you definitely getting 12v to your new plugs? Sounds like either not enough amps getting to the starter or starter is full of dust and brushes are knackered. They are easy enough to...

    94 300 tdi auto

    I've recently got a 94 300 auto and it's fine while driving but when its cold in the morning it won't move forward untill its warm. I know auto's are crappy and won't set the world on fire but no one would have bought one in the first place if It was this bad. I'm guessing start with a oil and...
