Patience Running Out With Brakes.

[bertman]

Right need some deffo help now.
Posted up a thread about this ages ago and got little help.
Problems are as follows:
Brakes every so often,bite like hell,like they are suppose to bite and pull the car up amazingly,but as I said it's not a regular thing.
most of the time the brakes seem that I have planks of wood for pads and you have to stamp on them to work.
Have bled the cr&p out the car,fitted new Pas pump and new bomb and change from textars to DS2500's.
Am at the end of my tether and need some advice.
what could cause the brakes to "sometimes" bite like hell and other times,be total pants
Running out of things to replace and patience
Could it be the servo?????

It could be a step on the guides for the pads.
Are they standard?

Are they wooden when cold and hot, or only when cold?

What condition are your brake pipes in? A weak rubber pipe would yield a similar problem. Are the discs new or worn? can you get the ABS to cut in?

Everything has been covered Andy,goodrich hoses front and rear,discs are new and have been bedded in.And yes the ABS does cut in.

Any play in the wheel bearings?

I will go and check(out with the trolley jacks again )but I am pretty sure that their pretty solid

[BRY]

Check them when they are warm, they are always tight when they are cold, unless they are really knackered.

Does the ABS cut in a bot too eagerly? Could be a dodgy sensor if everytihng else is OK...
