[FUBAR]

[pmessling]

Funnily enough I was out in mine yesterday and went past your place.

Was out today - first trip in a month. Took some revs to get the brakes off and then had some serious brake judder for the first 10 miles or so. That's the nudge I need to not leave it so long next time...

Same thing happened to me today. Took about a dozen attempts to free the pads then violent judder with reduced braking effect, decided to park it back up and have a look tomorrow. Hope it is just a stuck pad?

I'll be going for a nice early morning blast tomorrow as well.

This happend to me as well after leaving it for over a month, I just carried on driving as normal and it went away after about 10 minutes.

Yep, binding pad or pads. Never had it before but then a month is the longest I've gone without driving it, never had the problem if it's only 2-3 weeks. That said, I've a feeling this time was due to the fact I put it in the garage after a good wash and blast with the Karcher and didn't take it for a spin to dry out.

The judder went away when I decided to dab them frequently as I went along for the next few miles to get things working. They were soon working as they should do.

Sounds like it is a binding pad(s), originally thought it was the rears due to handbrake etc. My suspension could do with a strip and clean anyway, so I'll strip and clean them up then.

Shirley I'm not he only one who leaves their Cerb parked up without the handbrake on?

You'd need to if your drive/garage isn't level!

[steviejasp]

I never leave the handbrake on mine when in the garage either.

[Vee8ight]

No handbrake, 1st gear only, when in garage, for me.

[Mr Cerbera]

... and roll it up t o a tyre stop to avoid using the footbrake - especially after a wet run.

Same here - have learnt my lesson having had two Fiat Coupes that suffered in the same way.

Think it was the cold and moisture when I put it away that caused it.

[knight]

Don't leave the handbrake on when mine is in the garage, just leave it in gear and use an aircraft chock
