Brake problems ... gee that's a surprise!

[Panda]

I'm having problems with the brakes on the SIII - when I first drive it, they lock up & pull severely to the right. :( However ... after driving for awhile they come good. I'd really like to get it sorted before a trip to Batemans Bay coming up in a fortnight ... any ideas???

collapsed brake line on the right hand side. if it stays locked on for a while.

on the left if its slow to come on.


this of course assumes that your brake mechs are corectly adjusted clean and moving freely without any dragging on the pistons.

Thanks Dave ... was hoping you'd reply! :)

Looks like I'm going to have to consult the manual & have a go on the weekend!

most likely, a leaky hub seal or sticking piston(s) on the front left.

Don't think it's a leaky hub seal ... but I'll check, thanks :)
