brakes

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.

    Grinding Brakes

    Hi to all, I've owned my MG3 Hybrid+ Trophy since August and have 3,800 miles on the clock. Recently I've had a problem with grinding rear brakes. When braking I get an horrendous grinding noise from the rear. It literally sounds like the brake pads are down to metal and are grinding on the...

    Braking

    I've been reading about the brakes on an electric vehicle, some complaints about rusting pads and discs due to regenerative braking, is it possible to put gear selector in neutral to polish the rust back off the pads and discs?

    Wipers come on when I brake!

    Hello all, As the title says really.. I have a MGZS EV Trophy long range, 23 plate. Yesterday my car started to something strange. Whenever I use the breaks, no matter how lightly, the front and rear wipers come on. It's not a short wipe, both front and back do a sort of half arsed, slow...

    Alpine A290.

    This is pretty sexy I think. Special in a way the X Power isn't. (Ooo, Controversial Bricktop!) No, hear me out.... I love the way the wheels fit the arches. Proper performance brake caliper set up. Beautiful interior with quality materials. Looks like a nice place to be. Great styling...

    Squeaky brakes

    Think it's the fronts. Picked up a new Xpower last week. Feature or a fault? Will they bed in?

    Modifications

    Was wondering if anyone had made any interesting modifications to their mg3 hybrid yet? I am personally in the process of tinting brake/headlights, a bit of debating plus making the MG badges black and maybe getting the wheels blacked out still unsure though. Anyone else?

    OPD, car rolls backwards when stopping on downhill slopes (merged thread)

    Hello, I am making a quick call to get your feedback on my use case. Every morning, I leave home (1) and activate the one-pedal (UC with OP only). On the downhill road (not depending charge level), my MG4 regenerates strongly in this phase with peaks to -25. The deceleration is not sufficient...

    Squealing low speed brakes

    Our MG4 Essence LR makes a classic disc brake squeal during light low-speed application. Ok so it announces that somebody has returned home, but it is annoying. Even my first car, a Mazda 1500SS had "anti squeal springs" on the calipers and they never squealed. Has anybody else noticed this and...

    Stationary but the power meter shows 3-5.

    Car on a flat road stopped as normal with 99% regen and light touch on the brakes to kill the last kph. Now waiting for a minute for the traffic to move so keep the brakes on to stop any creep**. The power meter is showing 3 or 4, sometimes higher, but I have no aircon, lights or anything else...

    Brakes release timing and oil leak?

    Hey all, i've noticed something that feels a bit odd when i put my MG4 (72 plate) into drive or reverse mode from a parked position. Just throwing this out there for a sense check. When the car is parked the brakes are automatically applied. You then hold the brake pedal down and place the car...

    Regen / Brakes

    Hi Everyone Waiting for delivery of my MG4 and just wondering how the regen works in terms of brake blend. Not talking one pedal driving, just normal 1-2-3-Auto type regen modes. If I have the car set to regen level 1, for example, then lightly brake as well, does that give more regen as...
