Hi

I am wondering if someone can tell me why on my car my brake calipers or rather my brake pads rust so tight to the brake disc if the car is not moved for a few day "it is like there is some thing braking" I have the ScoobySport Group N+ brakes and that is Pagid Blue pads and grooved disks. Is this because of the compound in the pads or the disks or perhaps both?

Best Regards

Alot of cars with discs do this unfortunately
A few of the hot hatches ive had in the past also did this and there isnt much you can really do about it
Some people use copper grease i think which helps but if your car is open to the elements then the only way to stop it is to either cover your wheels up or park in a garage.....

Use the 1st gear. Worked for all cars I've ever had.

 

could just be your handbrake mechanism, dragging slightly when left applied..........strip, clean and re-adjust!

I talked to Pete at ScoobySport and he told me that this was normal for Group N Brakes because of the compound in the pads

Steven,
this could be worse for you, seeing as you're in Iceland, I'm guessing the elements can be a bit harsh there.
