Hi,
i took it to two independant garages and they both checked them out, both could not find a fault , had it on rolling road to test each brake independantly and all came up spot on. In the second garage i know the mechanic and he says what has probably happened is my daughter left her handbrake on a touch at which point the rear drum brakes got hot and boiled the hydraulic oil making it inefficient. My daughter said to me prior to her accident there was a funny smell. This seems to add up and after we took names etc and brakes had a chance to cool down they were at normal again. So to be on the safe side i had the old hydraulic oil flushed out and renewed . Today was her first day driving it since the accident , she was a bit wary at first but i think her confidence has come back. Hope this helps
By the way have had a look thru google for recalls and also anyone else with this problem , but your the only one that had same as me.
Hope your wife is ok , i would imagine a bit shaky , my daughter was.
Any way if you find anything related to this can you let me know. |
