I noticed when checking them that the rear discs are a bit worse for wear and could do with a refresh. I'm probably going to do rear discs same time as the pads, but am not totally sure...

The other day I was driving my friends Type R and although I know his car has more power, his brakes actually worked and stopped when you touched the pedal, I got back in my little 1.7 cdti and the brakes felt really spongy (they...

    Astra has been parked up for 2 months unused. I started it today and had trouble moving forward or in reverse. I eventually put it in first gear and gave it a bit more acceleration that usual.
