Hello everyone, yesterday I got home and noticed a bad burnt smell coming from the front passenger wheel. The hub cap was bloody hot so I just left it overnight. I pulled the hub cap off this morning and found that the dust cap was off and it had spread a nice bit of grease all over the inside of the hub cap. The car still rolls quite easily (maybe the best it ever has). My question is would the grease produce a burnt smell if it came in contact with the rotor and what has made it so hot. The car wasnt pulling to the left or right, and brakes seem in good working condition. thanks guys

Hello I have a KE 36 (1976) I just want to know what the standard brakes are like in these cars. At the moment they seem pretty well useless and finding myself using gears to pull her up, is this normal? I would like to know before i pull the wheels off and check the brakes. This may also be related but i find the car very hard to push even on a flat driveway. Cheers guys
