All brakes binding, rear lights on
Hi all, I hope you are all well, I have been away for a while.
I drove my 8 to a MOT test today, so exciting to drive it after its been sitting for a few months. I passed the MOT, and promptly all my brakes failed As he hands me my keys the MOT guy tells me “your rear brakes are binding a bit, do you live far” Then he tells his colleague “I need a cup of tea after this one” 😂 Sure enough when I try driving the car out of the industrial estate the brakes are dragging, by the time I make it to the entrance of the estate the car will barely move in 1st gear at 4000 revs. All 4 discs are hot and the brakes smell. The rear lights are on constantly and the brake pedal is slammed to the floor, rock solid. I got recovered on a flatbed to my local mechanic. The RAC guy tells me he thinks the mot tester must have stomped on the brakes too hard. I’m guessing its the master cylinder? Last edited by Goran; 8th March 2022 at 05:11 PM. |
