No matter how good of a driver you think you are, brake problems can almost always surface at any time of the year. This can put you at serious risk when behind the wheel. Keep in mind the six most common brake problems found in motor vehicles.

1. ABS brake warning light comes on. This is an indicator that the vehicle's onboard computer has shut off the ABS braking system. If this happens it means a problem was traced. Your brakes will allow you to stop in this event but you will have no more protection against a break or wheel lock-up. This is more of a minor problem which will enable you to get safely to the auto repair shop.

2. The brake warning light goes on. This can be a simple indicator that your emergency brakes are still engaged. If you see that it is still on, release it. On a more serious note, this could also indicate that your brake lubrication and cooling fluids could be dangerously low. Have your fluids checked and re-filled immediately. If your light does not turn off after this, it could mean that there is a leak in one specific part of your braking system. In this event, contact your auto service provider right away.

3. When the brakes lock. This could happen when there is a damaged brake pad, shoe, or perhaps both. It could also be in relation to the disc calipers or wheel bearing functions. In this case you want to get your car towed right away and call for roadside assistance.

4. It is hard to break and your brake pedal will not go down all the way or at all. This problem can be very simple, something could be under your brake pedal. A more complex problem that could cause this is when there is a failed or pinched brake fluid line. Also it could be a failure of the power brake boosting mechanism or both. Again, you want to call for roadside assistance and tow truck if this occurs.

5. The brake pedal feels "mushy" and goes beyond its normal levels. A spongy brake pedal can be the result of too much air in the brake fluid line. A more serious problem could be a break fluid leak or damage to your master brake cylinder. This problem calls for a tow truck as well.

6. The brakes make a squealing noise. This could have many sources. Dirt could be trapped in the wheel. It could also be the result of worn out brake linings, warped or cracked brake shoes, or brake adjusters that are not out of alignment. If you are experiencing a continuous brake squeal it is either because you have wheel bearing damage or your brake pads have far surpassed their replacement point. To prevent permanent brake rotor damage, have this looked at right away.

It's no lie that your brakes are your vehicle's most essential safety system. You should regularly have them inspected and maintain them as best you can. Every repair will save you gas, create a better handling, and give you the feeling of having those brand new BMW Brakes again. These six common problems may not always be avoidable, but they are definitely fixable. When driving always have triple A and roadside assistance in your phonebook, you never know when your brakes might give out.

The Saab 9-7x: the Thrill of Flight

The Saab SUV team has a new member -- the Aero performance version of the Saab 9-7x, expected to take off this fall.

The Scandinavian automaker, under the umbrella of GM crafted this car which promises to exhibit a jet-like performance for all speed-loving fanatics. Saab says that the 9-7x Aero limited edition is polished with machine sophistication, premium design and state of the art technology.

The car sits on 20-inch aluminum wheels and the Saab Aero 9-7x also gets P255/50R20 V-speed-rated tires that provide optimum balance and better handling. The interiors are designed with upholstered leather seats “Aero” embroidered and embossed floor mats.

Built with LS2 6.0 small-block V-8 with a cold air induction package that delivers 390 horsepower (295 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 395 lb.-ft of torque (542 Nm) at 4,000 rpm, the 9-7x Aero’s LS2 6.0L is patterned from the V-8 engineering which delivers superior down-low torque for strong performance. With an acceleration of 0-60mph in less than six seconds, the 9-7x is set to make your driving experience a driver’s pleasure.

With premium Saab engine parts under its hood, the distinct feature of the 9-7x is its engine’s version which is a composite multiple to deliver balanced horsepower and torque. The maximum towing capacity of the 9-7X Aero is 6,000 lbs (2994kg).

The brake system of the 9-7X is composed of a four-wheel discs made larger, 12.8-inch (325mm) front disc rotors and iron twin-piston calipers. The iron calipers are optimum powered to be stiff and maintains their shape under extremely high pressure or high-beat braking conditions that gives the driver easy manageability in braking for stops. 9-7X Aero brake pads are built with strong linings to strongly resist fading.

“The 9-7X Aero is one great SUV to pilot," says one Saab representative.

"We are excited to offer enthusiastic drivers an increased level of performance with the Aero, a symbol of Saab performance, in the midsize SUV segment."

what do the numbers on the Aluminium rotor disc going around in the electric meter represent?

i believe when that thing circles 60 times that represents 1 kilowatt hour. the more electricity use use the faster it turns.
the numbers above represent th meter readings.
i read my own every month to make sure my bill is correct.
read the meters from left to right.
if the first meter has the hand between the 8 and 9 the first number is 8 if the second meter has it's hand between the 4 and 5 it's 4 and so on
so so far it's 84??? check your BILL EACH MONTH FOR THE METER READING, it's on every bill.. and so are the hourly charges for each kilowatt hour.
believe it or not i learned that in elementary school, maybe you were absent that day. LOL
good luck to ya

Kawasaki Reveals Radically New 2011 KX250F
Yeah, yeah, it’s fuel injected. But there is a much bigger “wow” factor to Kawasaki’s new 2011 KX250F – the revolutionary new Separate Function Fork (SFF). Separate function as in spring on one side and damping on the other.
