Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 lol they are still shining on my motor must be partially seized or you need to get bleeding or just possibly you have a nipped brake pipe Still reckon it is more likely to be calliper/pad problem, especially considering all was well with the car on the hunny run Be inclined to take the pads out first for a once over, could be a stone in there somewhere, especially given the rather loud noises that were emanating from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Enjoyed the run out, as cold as i was all part of the fun i suppose hope you get those brakes sorted Tony would stop me getting peppered with grit every time you braked hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 both pads out first ... make sure theres no oil etc on them or stones wedged you can check the caliper operation whilst the pads are out - dont pop a piston if all looks ok get bleeding and check your brake pipes I take it you have checked your fluid levels???

jsawyer86 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Tony, if i were you i would take the pads out and rough them up with a sheet of P80 emery paper. or drain your brake fluid and replace with a good quality 5.1 spec. Ive seen a lot of brake problems resulting from crap fluid. HTH J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housebeautician Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 hi chaps thanks for all the suggestions.............looks like ill have to go the whole hog and pump it all through, im sure now its down to the fluid, bit awkward on your own so ill have to wait until my son comes home. hope to make the cheese run tomorrow, if i can get it done in time. ive typed this in english for you cleggy,ok mate lol tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
