big si 1976 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 As per title car is currently with the boys at Horsham developments in for a p3 plus all fluids,diff & gearbox oils,aux belts,plugs. Have a issue at lower speeds with a pulsing feeling when braking,its not through the pedal its slight but I can feel it in the car,recent front discs so can't see it would be warped discs? Anyway I am sure there sort it,maybe unclean surface before discs were fitted? While doing service they said the compression bushing on the banana arms are worn/perished so doing both sides with uprated super pro items,£400!!!! Gulp!! Rear discs need doing and pads all-round at 50% life left gonna leave them and do myself as to keep costs down a bit! Gonna hopefully have car back Monday if the can get bushes done Monday! Also going to rob a bank to pay bill but don't tell anyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Oh dear, ...had the same thing myself so I know what it's like. Just bite that bullet and get it all done. At least you know it's all good afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seasider Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 My roadsters just had a minor service today but took the opportunity to fit some super chic drilled & grooved discs with new brembo pads. Now stops super sweet. Pics to follow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Are you sure it;s not just brake pad imprint on the discs? http://www.mossmotors.com/SiteGraphics/Pages/brake_discs.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big si 1976 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) right more bad news!! picked car up and now slight pulsing from the front brakes has turned into a big shake/vibration under use!they fitted new banana arm bushes(superpro),seems odd its now MUCH worse than when I left the car with them!. spoke to Horsham as soon as I got home and want £300 more to do front discs that's 20% off gesture of goodwilli thought about it over last night and I don't have the time to go up there before my trip as I leave sunday. have gone to a local disc skimmer I found and am having front discs skimmed plus new pads for £150,hope this sorts problem because if not I WILL be asking the chaps to sort it at Horsham. i am more than unhappy with the situation. with me luck!

big si 1976 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Seems a disc skimming has done the trick!!!! They fitted new pads,skimmed the mating faces and the discs also removed all corrosion from areas and I am glad to say I am judder free! While that was being done I had my Goodyear f1 asymmetric 2 tyres fitted to the rays wheels I refurbished and then had them put on! Ready for my French road trip on Sunday now! Been a long and stressful week so far hope that's it car wise!! Will say if anyone in Hampshire is suffering with judder from brakes I can recommend hutfields of botley to skim brakes and at £40 a disc there's a big saving on new discs!!

ZMANALEX Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 £40.00 a disc for a skim You can get new budget discs for less than that. Och well as long as it is sorted and you are happy. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justthejedi Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Are you sure it;s not just brake pad imprint on the discs? http://www.mossmotors.com/SiteGraphics/Pages/brake_discs.html That's exactly what I have done to mine!....sitting on the brake pedal at junctions not good in a zed. Juddery brake city! It's a characteristic of the car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juddery brake city! It's a characteristic of the car though. Could have just done some heavy braking got loads of head into the disks and it might have improved it without skimming? I thought skimming was just for warped disks not to remove pad material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez @ H-Dev Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Glad its sorted We checked out the disks because Si mentioned the vibration during the service. The front left disk had a load of DTV (disk thickness variation) - limit is 0.015mm his had around 0.05mm - so well out of spec. I think the vibration was worse after we did the bushes because the old bush on the side with the wonky disk was barely attached to the arm.
