Copper Grease With Wheels On

Let nature take its course

Before you go and get your Darwin Award try this
Take 2 pieces of wood, 1 in each hand, put them together and with a little clamping pressure push them past each other
Now repeat with copper grease ( or any lubricant such as KY jelly, I'm sure you have plenty of this) feel how easily they now slide apart.
If you copper spray you brakes this is what will happen.

This thread has a couple of issues.
Was it posted originally with the intent to generate negative replies and degenerate into a slanging match?
Was the OP genuinely asking about the grease issue?
If first then let's leave well alone and not succomb to his desires. Ignore him.

If the second then a couple of questions....
Did you- the OP- ask the technician in the garage what he was doing? At the time?
If it is true that they put grease on the pad faces/disc then they need reporting, and I am serious about that - as someone could be killed.
I think you said you bought the car new from them? If so then they are likely to be a franchised dealer?
If so then they need sorting ASAP.
Have you gone back to them to ask what they were doing?

To the original poster ...... Answer these questions to clarify and don't respond to the other aspect re trolling.
This will clear things up.
Isee no reas

No replies?
No reveal of garage?
I suspect a post as bait for antagonism.

Time to close the thread.

Or maybe the OP has tried the copper grease on the friction surface of the brake pads & discs
with the inevitable when trying the brakes

OP is in Edinburgh ... so it wasn't his excursion across the A1 south of Lincoln, across the grass verve and through a fence and hedge I saw the other day ..

But I didn't know how copper grease worked.

You don't know how grease works? Alright, not from a chemistry perspective, but is the principle too much for you?
