Yet more brake issues...............
................................ on the Bear. Having had all 4 disc’s and pads replaced we now have a collapsed flexi pipe on the n/s/f causing the piston to be stuck on the disc. This is not the first time this has happened, three and half years ago we had the same issue. Luckily for me I had bought a load of spare flexi pipes off of Trikey after he sold his V8.
Car is now in the garage. Allen followed me up to give me a lift home.

The garage is “old style”. It’s run by 3 brothers who will track down and rectify the fault. They work on everything from Bentley’s thro’ to tractors and on to Aston Martins.

I wonder what could be the cause of it collapsing? Especially as it’s the second time .

....................and she is home.
The pipe had collapsed. So new pipes fitted all the way round. New Calliper on the o/s/f. Brake fluid replaced. Wallet somewhat lighter. But the Bear stops a lot better.
We had to come home the long way round as the A38 was closed owing to a serious accident. Many thanks to Allen for giving me a lift.

The pedal pressure pushes fluid past the obstruction but the fluid can't flow back by itself. ( No return pressure. ) This makes the brake pads press continuously against the discs. Only cure: new flexi brake pipes.--- The pipe actually swells rather than collapses. The brake fluid over a long period of time is the cause of the swelling of the rubber. The outside of the pipe has the same appearance so nothing can be seen until it becomes internally blocked. It makes itself known when the owner starts to smell the over heated brake pad material and maybe smoke from under the wings. Last edited by COLVERT; 16th November 2020 at 16:48.. |
