What do you think about the breaking. With all the lights comming on. Is that suppose to happern. Neer seen it before
Well, if you're left foot braking, you're not going to be pressing the clutch down are you? So, you're going to stall the engine, or nearly stall it - this will make all the warning lights come on as the engine speed drops to stalling, where charging stops, oil pressure drops, hydraulic pressure drops etc etc..

ohhhhhhh. Im trying to practice kadince breaking. Its hard to do becase when you are in amergancey. Your brain says slam on the break. Which will make the wheels skid and you wonte be stopping.
My grandad did kadince breaking in his bx twice when i was in it. Used to stop it dead.
Ive notice if you over fill the hydrolic systerm the breaks are sharper. Becase the pedal was harder.
Mine was over filled ay first. The break was well sharp. But put it at the croecct level. And its not has hard as it was or sharp.
But still stops good
My xantia if you dont know is lower then a lx modle so it has no abs electric front windows sunroof etc

I found that left foot braking can be quite dramatic when driving trainman's and my son's automatics.
