Cheeries! I'll gie them a go:-)

A'l admit am nae sure A unerstant masel' sometimes :-) East coast, harder tae ken, a Bobby in London pulled me een day fir whit he called taking the mick - mac. He chuckled, A didnae.(until later)

Jist got the truck, and feel like the front calipers arny up tae it. Checked wi Haynes and tested the servo wi no 'substantial give' noted. Are landi's prone tae piston seizes in the calipers?

cheers

Aye, do it right.

Braw solid disks and loads of pad, 4 piston calipers at front, but nae stopping time this side o next week.


If these brakes are top drawer when working, my brakes arny working right.

But a special motor all the same. New alternator and vacuum pump so A guess the problem lies in the servo or the caliper pistons. Could'nae burl the wheels when the brake pedal was depressed when jacked up - aw gid. Firm pedal so it cannae be needin bled.

Any wan ken o any other causes?
