Front Brakes Locking on in Hot Weather
#1
OK Our lasses Car Fist Cinq whatever Sporting
This has happend twice in recent weekd our lass called the AA out last time.
I was driving yesterday engine got +100c and brakes locked on (almost) engine overheating may be as a result of effort needeed to push car but am confused.
Cleaned calipers and put back together first time so know thats ok.
I changed the brake fluid last night in the hope it was boiling and expanding etc..
Anyone got any Ideas ???
I know its not Scooby related but there are a number of Yoda Types that moniter these Threads .....
Cheers Eric

Scooby Regular
the most common problem would be a "sticking" caliper that is fine when cold and then expanding with heat to cause it to bind-on........have you checked sliders and possibly pistons??
