Hello all, I'm looking for a bit of advice with fixing my brakes. Another chance for a bit of remote problem solving!
I've got a 110 200tdi 1991. Front discs and rear drums.
The problem is that after about 10 minutes of driving the brakes become stuck on, with the pedal becoming pretty much solid. And then obviously if I continue the brakes get very hot! So I have to stop, let them cool down and then I'm on my way again after about 15 mins..... Driving my landy really is slow! :doh:
A few facts:
It has a new master cylinder.
Today I bled all the brakes, which definitely needed doing but didnt fix it.
Brakes are much faster to lock on if traveling in 4th or 5th and going quickish.
More frequent braking seems to prolong the inevitable for a short while.
I recently bought the truck and beforehand I think it had sat around for a while.
So there you go! Sorry for the long post, but I might as well get as much info in as poss?!
Please fire away with your suggestions of what to do next!!
Cheers
