Mudman Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Morning all Just woken the car up up from its winter hibernation. Took it for a drive last week and noticed quite a bad shudder on braking especially at lower speeds. It seemed to reduce and was a lot less after the hourish drive. Is this a result of the cold/damp conditions on the disc or something I need to check out ? The car was covered and not used from Mid December to last weekend and was parked without the handbrake on. I'm thinking there may be some residue off the pads and hoping will wear off. Brake efficiency doesn't seem to be affected. The disk were a bit rusty but look ok now Been looking for an excuse for a disk skim ! Rob Quote
ZMANALEX Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Just give them a good bed in Rob and all should be well. Alex. Quote

brillomaster Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 as above - clear the surface rust from the rotors with a bit of driving and get a bit of heat in them. if it was in good condition when it was parked, should be in good condition now! if problem persists in a week or two, then start to do more analysis.

I thought rotors were those twirly bits on the top of helicoptors Don't you mean disc brakes? Quote
brillomaster Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 sorry! watching so many American car shows that words like 'stock', 'tranny', 'rotors' 'popping the hood' are becoming part of my vocabulary! I even catch myself pronouncing 'coupe' as 'coup' which is just wrong! 1 Quote
