Brakes and Clutches in Dunfermline

How the brakes on your Peugeot work?

Brakes are the reverse vehicle system to clutches, because they reduce the forward momentum of a car.

Cars are fitted with two sorts of brakes: service brakes and hand brakes.

The parking brake is put on when a car is parked, whereas the service brake slows the car to a stop when travelling.

Foot brakes are activated when the brake pedal is pushed in which is found in the middle on the driver's side.

This makes pistons inside the brake calliper push against the metal disc attached to the wheel which creates friction and slows the car which occurs because kinetic energy moving the car forward is changed into heat energy which is then lost to the surrounding air.

If you are worried that your brakes are ineffective, seek the assistance of a garage in Dunfermline.

Problems with Vauxhall braking systems

Any part of a car can go wrong, but it you're concerned about a problem with your brakes, it is important to seek advice from a reputable Dunfermline garage immediately.

Failed clutches in Dunfermline

It is unlikely that you will be able to drive your car if you have a clutch failure because you won't be able to change gear because you can't deselect the current gear or move out of neutral. For that reason you may need an emergency garage call out so your Renault can be recovered to a garage in Dunfermline who can replace the clutch. Because disconnection of the engine from the transmission is needed for a clutch replacement to be carried out, the repair work involves a lot of labour, making clutch replacement one of the more expensive jobs on a car.

For that reason, if you think you have a problem with your clutch, it is always worthwhile to ensure the clutch is causing the vehicle problem rather than immediately carrying out a clutch replacement.
