Hi,
This isnt really a big problem, as Ill be changing the brakes to 2L 16v items soon. Anyway, I had this problem that the brakes were shite, and a noise was coming from the front passenger side. Turns out its only braking there! No brakes at all drivers side, so pulls right over to the left. Any ideas what could be up? Havent actually looked yet, but its probably something simple. No loss of brake fluid, so it cant be a brake pipe?

Cheers

hi mate,your drivers side caliper may be siezed,but unless the car has not been used in a while i dont c why it should be?! maybe try and jack the car up and take the wheel off and caliper,then get a friend to push the brake pedal down slightly to c if the pistion inside the caliper is moving,be careful nt to push it down to far as the pistion may pop out off the caliper!

Aye, the car was sitting for a year or two, but it was fine. Only after we went for a run it in did it fuck up.
