random one, on the zetec ka i did some messing about with the brakes,

basically brakes were pap so used a modified clio DCI servo, golf mk1 master and fiesta mk7 front calipers, only just taxed it and drove it fine, let it tick over on the drive when home and when i went to move it brakes were on...

anyone got any suggestions? almost like letting it idle for 5 mins has applied the brakes?!?

yea i was thinking maybe the clio servo doesn't like ford vaccuum... haha

all the brakes seem to be on enough to make it hard to move the car, pedal feels solid too, very strange maybe i should have left it alone! :laugh:
