No, we don't have 4 pot calipers, just standard 135 brakes.
We have 6 cars in all, and coming out of one of the others into the TF, you realise just how bad the brakes are. And at the end of summer, the TFs go into hibernation, you get back into one of the other cars, brake and nearly go through the windscreen.
I did buy a strengthening bracket to stop flexing that is supposed to improve the feel of the brakes, not improve them, but never bolted it on.
I'm very mechanical, do all my servicing, cambelt etc. And I'm restoring a classic mini.
I will search the forum for how to when I'm on a pc, not easy to search on the phone.
Does a dodgy handbrake affect the foot brake? They're not much better!
Hi all.
We have 2 TFs and both suffer from bad handbrakes, one is especially bad, basically useless, only just gets through the French mot.
Any tips as to why they're so bad?
Thanks
Pete.
Coming back to this. My new cable arrived and looking at it, I’m wondering if that nasty closing plate needs to be removed. Can I not just pull the cable through the hole in the closing plate then feed the new one through ?
Thanks for that. What about with the subframe exhaust etc still on the car. Seems there might be a probleme getting a plate off between the subframe and body.
Any views?
Hi all.
Is there a how to on changing à handbrake cable on a TF ?
Mine is full of rusty water and is sticking, it's worn the pads down and turned the disk blue!!!
I got the T4 from my local ex MG Rover garage. They had 2, this one didn't work. I had to sent it to the UK to be fixed by a genius on the rover 75 forum.
Thanks for getting back.
I changed the lambda. Didn't change the second one because T4 is showing correct readings. I got the T4 after changing the first lambda.
All readings on T4 are spot on. From cold start right up to the fans coming on.
I'm in France and use E10 petrol.
I also have a ZR 120 that is showing similar signs.
I'm wondering if I might have an injector problem. I heard that ethanol attacks plastic injectors.
Plugs, leads and coil packs are new.
