So a couple of strange things have happened to my monte carlo over the last few days.......firstly i went out to drive it the other day and one of the back wheels was stuck solid it was a roasting day and i thought maybe the rain (thunderstorms) followed by the heat had seized something ?? Anyway it was on some loose gravel at the time and when it hit tarmac whatever was holding it went and it drove fine.....bit worrying none the less perhaps a drum seizing at the back or sumit? Anyway on to today and its raining again but not too bad......so i'm going along fine and then when i was on the slip to join the motorway all of a sudden i felt the loss of power....kind of like losing a cylinder in a petrol engine and the ESP light and the coil light both come on!!! i get into town all the way going slowly as i still feel like there has been a loss of power......i stop anyway and try to start her again and the display now says 'stabilisation control' error. Anyways i had to go hunt pokemon with my son so we went to do that :P and when we get back to the car there are no warning lights however on the drive home it still feels like the power has gone particularly in the low gears?? Any help appreciated ......i'm sure if i go out and put my foot to the floor the lights would come back on ......

Them back drums gotta come off for a thorough check-out of everything connected/used when braking..

If discs at the rear, need to check callipers and pad slides for any type of seizure..

Is there anyone on here living near Perth Scotland that could hook me up for a comp diagnosis?
