I recently changed my rear brake discs and pads. One of the carrier bolts was rounded. Doing some research people advised to only use the genuine Ford replacement bolts so I called the main dealer who told me I can't buy them separately and will have to buy a new carrier with the bolts for £180...

On renewing the brake push-rod boot and seal, which is the reason I did this job. You have to remove the pedals assembly bracket to get access, which I did in separate videos, so find them elsewhere on here or as linked on YT. Also the part #s for the boot & seal are in the YT description. No...

I understand all Mk5 Mondeos have an Electric Parking Brake. Perhaps someone can explain how to get it to auto release. I have a manual gear-box and keyless ignition. When I get in the car: press clutch, start ignition, engage first, release clutch and apply accelerator. At the bite-point the...

Hi All, Anyone got any idea what size brake pads I need for the front of my Ford Mondeo 2002 Estate? I've put my details into Eurocarparts and it's coming up with 3 different sizes (width and height - does the thickness matter?). I'm going outside now to see if I can measure but incase I get...

I saw a video which says that you have to align the cut out notch on the piston (used to rewind it) with the small notch on the back of the brake pad when refitting. Is this the case? I don't see anything about aligning the piston a certain way with the brake pads on the wiki ford how to guide???

This is my first Ford Focus Mk1, a 1.8 TDCI Zetec so I am not sure if its normal. While I was sitting at a junction with the engine running I had my foot on the brake and it slowly sank to the floor. The brake still worked as I was on an incline but it still concerns me. I have tested it again...
