Hi, The brakes on my car are useless, had a look and the usual vacuum line was split so I replaced that however this hasn't changed much. The brake pedal is solid and the abs does seem to work. When I popped off the vacuum line there is suction so the pump should be working fine. Any ideas where I should look next as all the threads I could find when searching were all resolved by the replacement of the usual pipe. Many Thanks

nah a lot of people laughed at the Skoda and a lot of people will laugh at the puma but they're both incredibly good cars. the puma spanks the skoda in a lot of ways, but the skoda is a lot better in many other ways. I hadn't really seen the car as at the accident i wasnt really with it but seeing it when i took the photos really was a shock! just glad i have my feet from the pedals moving together.

His car was certainly a mess and was basically snapped around the front of my car, the accident seemed to throw my car in the air and sideways down a ditch as there is barely any damage to the wheels so i must of bounced over the curb. I wont be buying another one as its a rule i have not to own the same car twice and with the recession I've taken quite a pay cut so was struggling to afford running it how it deserved to be treated. I bought a Ford Puma this weekend nice and cheap which although is no where near as safe i cant spend too much of my life worrying about it, although i don't use the same road for work any more as I had some very close calls about once a month with peoples dodgy overtakes and people skidding out of control.

the car had been untouched for 3 months whilst the police investigation was been done thus the filthy unclean car.

I had a lot of bruising and cuts etc but nothing serious, buy who hit me was in a saxo and hit me with his passenger door so you can imagine how he was. The police are pressing charges on him for careless driving and told him he was lucky not to have a passenger or he would be looking at death by dangerous driving. Shows how strong the car is though.

Oncomming car lost control on bend with a bucket load of lift off oversteer into the front of me, he was doing about 80 i was doing about 40.

Pics: Notice the A pillar and roof had started to go. Pedals nice and close together!

As per title, seems like I should post pics now its nearly settled. So is it ok?

Been a long time now since i attempted to take some good photos but I went to a mates footy match yesterday and as I have no interest in the game at all I decided I'll take camera to atleast make it interesting. C&C welcome. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

The photomspaint images don't fill em with confidence however i think they have potential to look ok, maybe just with less color to the image to make the RS less OTT and a nicely refurbed set of calipers.

I used mobile 1 5w30 and never had a problem.

Zaino Z8 offers a very nice Extra finish, and also offers a little protection on top, however the best finishes come from good prep.

i think youll find its a hell of a lot more than that. it gets covered on here every few months im afraid. your much better off going Big Turbo or buying a faster car.
