Firstly, I just want to let you know that I know absolutely nothing about cars but I'll try and explain the problem as best as I can.
I got a 97' Cinq 898cc in September. It passed the NCT (Irish MOT) in January and I've had no problems apart from the brakes. It happened a few times in the past but for the past 8 weeks or so it's started happening every time I drive the car so now he's stuck on the drive until I can get whatever's wrong fixed.
Basically, the brakes stick on. Everything will be fine then I'll start slowing down and the brake pedal goes really hard until I finally stop. I took it to the garage in October after it happened a couple of times and the guy cleaned the brakes, checked the brake fluid and put new brake pads on and told me it would be fine. But it's not! When it happens, I have to stop the car and leave it for up to half an hour sometimes until the brakes free themselves.
What do you guys think could be wrong? I don't want to take it back to the garage and have the guys over-charge me or not fix the problem.
Thanks! Gail =]
