Hi everyone,
I have an EFI XF and have used this forum in the past with some great responses. Unfortunately I have another problem and I am in need of some ideas again.
I had new bendix standard, front and rear brake pads fitted about 2 months ago, and also got all 4 discs machined at the same time.
Now about a month ago I was heading down the coast and as I reached the bottom of the Clyde Mountain I noticed that the brakes weren't working too well... at the time I passed it off as I must have used the brakes too much.
Now last weekend I took a trip down the coast, but this time I lost brakes about half way down the hill. Now I know something is definately wrong as I was taking it slow and not using the brakes much at all. I have been down the mountain many times years before with no problems.
Now the thing is that when I lost the brakes, the brake pedal remained hard...and there was no real definite burning smell from the brakes.
I should mention that the brakes work perfectly fine in everyday city driving.
Sorry for the long post. Any advice or ideas anyone? I have it booked in for a brake check on Friday...but some ideas in the meantime would be appreciated.
Thanks.
