Berlingo Brakes

[wrightyholme]

I have a 03 berlingo hdi (only had it a couple of months). I find it skids very easily to the point that its beginning to scare me is this common or do you think there could be a fault with my car? :blink:

Hi,

Shouldn't skid under braking more than any other car of it's type....You obviously haven't got abs, so the culprit will be either worn tyres and/or cheap budget tyres which have little grip in cold wet and icy conditions.

Worth checking if the front tyres are over inflated too.

The original tyres on my '04 Berlingo are starting to wear quite a bit and the grip on acceleration and cornering is much worse than last winter.

Cheerz. :blink:
