tvr braking problem

[russell waite]

i have a chamera 4 litre and recently the front passinger brake is sticking on slightly and pulling the car to the left, i have put new disks on and changed the calipers aswell but it is still doing the same, it gets so hot when driving the disc glows red, yet the drivers side is cold.
the brakes work but doesnt seem to fully release on the passinger side. can anyone help with ideas or have you had the same problem.

Possibly the flexible brake pipe failing, it acts as a one way valve and doesn't release the pressure. Replace the flexible brake pipe and it should be OK.

thanks for that, i had a susspicion of that as we have had the same problem on deasel lines on our mini diggers, i also wondered if it could be the differential valve?

Could still be a sticking piston (most common reason)

Don't rely on new parts always working correctly.
