Ordered this lad from sveeden for a 5er, grand job! this seems to have failed on my one and gave me a brown trouser moment saturday night in the city, not fun when you hit the brakes and the pedal is rock solid

I'd say that's equal to my recent brown trouser moment in my chrysler when the exact opposite happened.toastedpickles wrote: »Ordered this lad from sveeden for a 5er, grand job! this seems to have failed on my one and gave me a brown trouser moment saturday night in the city, not fun when you hit the brakes and the pedal is rock solid

That's what I said but it was being handled by an extended family member (who deals with the mechanic) who takes any criticism VERY personally.Interslice wrote: »Changing pads or disks would do nothing to sort spongey brakes. Its caused by air in the lines getting in through a bad seal or connection somewhere.
I've said as much. I'm ****ed off. Funnily enough I had only recently told my OH what to do in the event of brake failure when she strangley asked me. I was given out to for speaking like a teacher (which I am) when I told her. She said every detail came back when she realised what was happening.That's alarming to read, presuming it was a mechanic who suggested changing the pads? As mentioned spongey brakes are not a symptom of worn pads, calipers have a function.
New mechanic and never go back to the Muppet who checked it out for you.

That picture is more ironic than you would think!
Elderly neighbours house burned down at the weekend, the man was in bed, lucky to get out alive. Obviously he hadn't a chance to get his belongings, so they keys are melted in the rubble somewhere Had to smash a window in the car to push it out of the way of the blaze!!
I'm assuming that there's a code whereby one can be remade?
It's an 04 astra0 -

Jaypers! Hope theyre all ok!
Here's a wild thought, if its a 04 astra it'd be the same as my own, what if you were to get an ignition barrel from a scrapped one along with the key? I'd to do that for mine when the barrel snapped 0 -
