New to this forum...and new to TVR. Picked up a nearly new Tuscan, just before xmas, with just 2,000 miles. Brakes are sticky after just one night whether in the garage or outside. If left for longer then the brakes seize pretty hard....lots of foward & backward movement and banging of brakes required.
Don't park with the handbrake on, happens whether the car has been washed or not.

Any suggestions? Are there any brake pads that are better than others? Could it warp the discs?
Other than that....it really floats my boat.

Oh well, that's what you get for using the brakes at all! I certainly have the same issue on my Tuscan2S and just leave it in gear, using the handbrake only for more nefarious stuff.
Happy motoring!

The brakes seem more prone to sticking on these cold days at the moment, mime was left in the garage for two weeks after a good wash, brakes stuck on, plus a flat battery, bugger!!! Had to call the BRAKE down people to drag it out of the garage, lesson leant
