The car was parked with handbrake on for about 4 months before I bought it. When the handbrake is released, the caliper levers don't return to the stops. If I take the cable off and work the lever by hand then it returns ok, but when the handbrake is applied, they don't go...
Hi,
When I first start the car sometimes (not always cold) it seems to idle at about 1.25k - 1.5k and when I've been driving around it suddenly starts to do it as well, which is a pain when it's in gear and you're trying to slow down enough to turn a corner as it starts to pull!
I can get it...
Anyone got this problem, for example you wash your car and park it up for the nite, next day the rear brakes are slightly stuck, as i pull off they release with a little creak, is it carbon build up on the discs or what. (LCR)
Has anyone experienced a sticking drivers window. Twice now when i have gone to raise the window it has stuck a third of the way up. Clears itself by turning the engine off and on again, but a bit of a pain
cheers

Has anyone had problems with the bonnet catch on their Leon? I mean the plastic tab that sticks out of the grille which you pull to release the bonnet. On mine it's not releasing. I've tried a screwdriver to make it release, but it's stuck solid.
I noticed it was sticking last time I opened it...
Hi
I posted a thread a few days ago about my car having intermittent episodes of feerling held back. I have dedicated this weekend to trying to get closer to identifying the problem.
Initially the thoughts were that the MAF may have been the problem but my findings today may point to...
My clutch peddle is starting to stick and doesn't return to its normal position, its ok if you pump it a few times but otherwise the cluctch bites very close to the floor and sometimes I can't even change gear!!! :confused:
A friend of mine said it sounds like the clutch slave cylinder? Any...
Well, recently my wipers have started to be slow and judder across the screen. Tried washing the screen and the wipers (even changed them) but the problem is still around.
The problem seems to get better,eventually, when its raining hard (thankfully) but goes back to being slow when using the...
right got a little problem with my 2001 leon cupra, my drivers side rear caliper is sligtly stuck on, i have taken the wheel off to have a look and sprayed some wd-40 on it give it a tap with a rubber hammer and it was ok for about 5mins until i put the hand break on.
anyone have any ideas...
Hiya,
On my other thread I am about to change my Brakes all round, but I have a horrible feeling the rear driverside caliper is sticking.
The reason I suspect this, is that the pad is worn right down to the metal, and is actually grinding on the disc (its made loads of scratch marks) yet...
I've done a quick search and can't find anything but has anyone solved this problem before?
If i leave my LCR with the handbrake on for a day or two then move away, my rear brakes seemed to have seized and the weight of the car releases them.
I've been told they need lubricating, but what...
Is this probem common on rear discs? On a regular basis I get a loud clunck from the rear dics when I reverse after I've released the handbrake. Is there anyway that I can carryout preventative maintenance to reduce this problem.
:confused: I've noticed my brake lights are sticking on every so often, seem to be able to clear it by pumping the break pedal - I take it that its a bad earth somewhere? where do I begin to look?
