| Post subject: | Brakes slow at responding |
Hi guys, I have a small issue, the brakes seem a tad slow.. ie press the pedal takes a moment to kick in. and then they stay on for a moment. New Master cylinder New brake Booster Running mini sport 4 pot calipers new brake hoses.... Any ideas? the Brakes havent been used in 12 months so I am hoping it could be a bit sticky, and will free up with use.

Immediate thoughtsa for problems: 1. pistons sticking on the seals, remove and lubricate. 2. One way valve in air line to booster suspect. 3. Minisport caliper. |

Check the rear brakes too, my rover used to have 'sticky' brakes sometimes when the handbrake was released. |

Booster may need an overhaul, sounds like the air valve may be sticking... |

I'm no expert but just a thought, are the hoses the correct diameter and length? Of they are too narrow this may cause a restriction to fluid flow. Check them against the old ones. |
