 this happened to me - 3 times in 2 and a half months - each time the wheel stayed on - held on by the brake caliper - |

Someone just shot the elephant in the room. |

almost had one, took the drum off the back of the bsu to find out why the handbrake had failed, the entire arm which is attached to the pad and operates it when you pull the handbrake (solid steel, anout 15cm long, 5cm wide and 1cm thick) had snapped off at its pin and had been bouncing around inside the drum for teh last 3000 kms. can only imaging what woudl haev happened if it happened to bounce into the right spot to find itself wedged under a pad!  |

Not quite a 'failure' but....   Got hit by a DUI Mercedes, broke the wheel and a couple of suspension pieces. Actually had to drive it in that state for ~1/2 mile to catch the moron...... |

This was more "pilot error" than mechanical failure, but...  Vs.  ...rebuilding the Golf kept me busy  |

his legs were OK. luckily Mazda rotaries as standard sit well infront of the driver. It made a mess of the car though. That video was taken by Glenn (chairman of Mazda Rotary Club) he used to have a site with loads of vids on but he lacked time and web space to keep it going as well as the MRC forums. Shame  |
