November 23, 200619 yr comment_152126 Rear brakes probably needs adjusting as has been mentioned. Easy quick check method: pull upp handbrake until it almost starts braking. Now try brake pedal while driving. If it has improved , you have found your fault. :jamie: Report
November 24, 200619 yr Author comment_152215 ok cool, will try that too. arnt drums serpost to be self ajusting? Report
November 24, 200619 yr Author comment_152220 just went out and had it running with the hand brake reafed on as far as i could pull the barstard, i think it may of been slighly better. this still wouldnt explain when i shut it off they go good again.... Report
November 24, 200619 yr comment_152248 Drum brakes are supposed to be selfadjusting yes but like everything else , they need servicing -cleaning . One of the great joys of owning an old car. :jamie: If your brake pedal did not become lower when you started the car , then your booster would not be working. Try this on any car: press the brake pedal while starting the car. You will feel the pedal going inn as the engine starts. Report
November 25, 200619 yr Author comment_152288 tryed that one, yes it did go in a little. funnaly enough they feel a bit better than the other week.. they felt like they may actually might slow me down a little if i used them.. another joy of owning an old car, things that change each time you drive it. it aint as old as my first car, that was made in 1973. didnt have a spot of troble with that. they still don't feel 100% like they where before, will check the rears the sarvo.. hopefully thats all it is :jamie: Report

November 25, 200619 yr Author comment_152309 oh does anyone know if an s-series will fit without modifying the t/shaft? cause I'm not keen on spending money on a diff that is rooted and whines like a c**t.. Report
November 26, 200619 yr Author comment_152367 coz a new brake cylinder is soooo much... they sure do.. so do you recon a s-series will fit? or t-series? edit: without shortening the t/shaft Edited November 26, 200619 yr by tas_ae71 Report
