J When having brake work done, buy the best; compromising quality in safety maintenance is foolish, comparaâ€" ble to shopping for the lowest price when seeking health care. The quality of one‘s braking system can have a direct bearing on one‘s health, conâ€" cludes the Council. Q Be aware of unusual braking symptoms, noises, shudders or pulling to pulling to one side or another, Have an expert road test the vehicle and help determine if repairs are needed. Q When replenishing brake fluid, pour from a fresh can. Once a can has been opened it can be contaminated by moisture. Water in the braking system can cause serious problems. U If it‘s necessary to top off the fluid in the master cylinder reservoir, look for a leak. When you‘re out of fluid, you‘re out of brakes! A complete inspection requires raisâ€" ing the vehicle and removing all four wheels for examination of brake linings, pads, drums and rotors plus wheel cylinders. The best time to do this is when you‘re getting an oil change or the tires rotated, suggests the Council. But don‘t wait for a convenient time if you suspect some kind of braking disorder. Have it checked at once. Council, it‘s nearly always preventable with proper maintenance. Brake system care begins with periâ€" odic checks. If your car is 18 months old or if it has been 18 months or more since you‘ve had major brake work done, it‘s time for a checkup. If you do a lot of stopâ€"andâ€"go driving in traffic or if you tow a trailer, brake inspection should be done annually. Periodic brake checks stem fear of failure Not surprisingly, brake failure is the leading mechanical cause of traffic acciâ€" dents and ,according to the Car Care hich car crisis would you W fear most: A tire that blows out on the interstate, an engine that goes dead at a busy intersecâ€" tion or a brake pedal that goes to the floor in a panic stop? All of the above have serious consequences, but brake failure, according to a national survey, is the car crisis most feared by drivers. Inside, the door opens on a pleasur able world which begins with lowâ€"back Colors are White, Deep Forest Green and Dark Cranberrv. Outside the change is immediately noticed, as one would expect when tryâ€" ing to outdo an Range Rover. New are the gnille, front andrrear bumiper fascia; and there are integrated running boards, bodyside moldings and even quarter moldings all of which are colorâ€"keved. Mechanically nothing is changed The Limited uses the largest engine, a 4.0â€"litre V6 of 160 hp and 220 fi/lbs of torque. It comes in 4X2 and 4X4 verâ€" sions which, when properly equipped, can tow 5,400 Ibs and 5,200 lbs respecâ€" tively. The Limited comes with a fourâ€" speed electronic transmission and Ford‘s unique Touchâ€"Drive which allows selecting fourâ€"wheel high and low gearâ€" ing by two buttons on the dashboard. "This is further proof that the best never rest," said Ford of Canada presiâ€" dent, Jim O‘Connor. "The Limited moves the Explorer to the next level in terms of comfort and luxury. In fact, you could say it‘s the ultimate blend of luxuâ€" ry with offâ€"road versatility." Ergo the Explorer Limited which moves the Explorer into a niche popuâ€" lated by the rich and chic and, as the name indicates, you won‘t see fleets of them lined up in the GO Station parking lots. With the exception of Jaguar (wholâ€" lyâ€"owned by Ford), North Americans have rejected British vehicles, witness the Sterling fiasco. But a clever ad camâ€" paign and acceptance by a very few who want something different parked in reserved parking at their country club have stirred Range Rover sales. That has taken a slice out of sales for the Eddie Bauer version of the Explorer, until now, the most luxurious sporting truck Ford has offered. +3.) per cent of one of the toughest segâ€" ments in the auto industry. However, being the biggest seller is not necessarily the same thing as selling the most prestigious sport utility truck. Many in the industry have been surâ€" prised at the resurgent interest shown in the Range Rover LWB (Long Wheel Base) a 24â€"yearâ€"old British design which has taken on new life with an eightâ€"inch chassis stretch and air suspenâ€" sion. It has also taken on a stratospheric price tag â€" $65,400 brighten. In 1992, the upstart "sportute" chalked up 12,385 retail sales in Canada, an increase of 39.7 per cent over 1991.
