Hi @AVANTE I saw you comprehensive answer on Peugeot 406. So I submit a question and if you could, could you have a look on my post(· 0 replies
) I would like to have your opinion on that. So my obvious choice was Peugeot 406 D9 diesel one. but what i heard was, probability of some one selling it due to considerable issues, and it has hard time of reselling and repairing and spare pats finding and cost may considerably high. Seeking advice on this.
Thank you

Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Question
Car Maniac
Guys,
I own a maruti 800 car and today in the morning I faced a troublesome situation :blink: with my cars brakes. today morning I had to go to Dematagoda from Pelawatta in the high traffic jam which was started usually from parliament rd to borella. Then in my return back to home, when I was at borella junction, a sudden noise started coming out of my cars front wheels. It was more like a squealing noise but the terrible thing was that sound was strong enough to get the attention of everyone who were waiting at the junction. The sound came only when the wheels are moving. Then helplessly I turned to cotta road and stopped for a while and contacted my dad. His idea was something like a brake bind had happened so he advised me to put plenty of water onto the brake caliper part of both front wheels to get cool down. When I was pouring water, I could see fumes getting out of the wheels as they have got really hot. After doing so, I stopped aside and waited for a while and then started moving again. Then the squealing sound had disappeared. I wonder what happed to my car suddenly and how just pouring water stopped that terrible sound came out of the wheels.
I mean, Distance from Pelawatta to Dematagoda is not a very long distance and I have driven this car to katunayake from pelawatta more than 20 times for the last few months. And I didn't face any trouble earlier. So what do you guys think can be the cause for that sound? Im quite shocked by that as the sound came suddenly. Will that sound come again? and do I have to do something now? WILL THAT BE AN ISSUE IN THE FUTURE? Have any of you guys experienced a similar thing? Its a great help if you guys can suggest me what might have happened?
Thanks in advance. :rolleyes:
