2006 Ford Fiesta Zetec S, 1.6, 90,000miles I've recently noticed that in my 06 Zetec S it slows down very quickly if i put the clutch down and is more gradual if i take my foot off the accelerator, its not all the time but its happened a fair few times recently. When moving off on a flat surface with no brakes applied the front right makes a noise almost as if its locked on briefly then it releases. I park it on a hill and when i first bought the car it would roll if i let it now it stops on the hill with no brakes applied. MOT is due soon and know this will be a problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

After driving for a few miles are any of the wheels getting exceptionally hot? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Then you have an issue with the brakes on that wheel and you need to get it inspected to see what is causing it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
