Brake Problem in dudley area!!!!!!!!!!!

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

After owning 2 5's 10 years ago I have had to buy 1 again cause I loved them so much. I remember the pain I went through years ago with parts breaking and general repairs to my old 5's but they are worth every penny spent on them for fun in driving these great cars.

I have now waited long enough and had to buy another 5 which I travelled all the way to Holyhead to pick it up. It is in good condition but needs alot of TLC to get it looking nice again.

I need some help though, the brakes have been fine up until last week when for some reason the left front wheel locks up and the car now pulls violently to the left. I noticed the brake pedal has started moving further than normal but apart from that I havent got a clue why this is happening.:sad2:

I got the wheels off the weekend to look at the brakes to see if a brake piston was sticking. After looking at the brake calipers they looked like they had been on for about 50 years, so I ripped them off and went and bought some new ones. After fitting these and bleading the brakes hoping this would cure my problem IT DIDNT. :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: :confused:

Can anyone help or got any ideas what the problem might be cause it is killing me having my 5 outside and not being able to use it.


Please please please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
