si wants supra Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Happen 3 times now in a week and a bit, really weird noise when Iam braking, like the brakes go slightly soft like your not gonna stop so I pushed the peddle harder and it made a noise like I was grinding a gear with a sought of high pitch farty noise (sorry for the lameness of my terminology). I just dont have a clue what it could be so please thanks for taking the time to read cheers Si. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parksy Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 You checked your brake fluid levels? Stupid question I know, but you never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si wants supra Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 Checked not long back was fine, but that was the first thing I was gonna look at this weekend. Hoping its not the ABS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Have you checked how much pad you've got left? Are the J-spec brakes? Could be a sticky caliper?? Probably best to whip the wheels off and check all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si wants supra Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 They are the J-spec brakes but again deffinitely know the back pads are fine, checked them a few weeks ago plenty of pad on them, front ones I'll take a look at but pretty sure they had plenty of pad on.

Alex Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Test the caliper too...it should open and close smoothly. It could just be a gas build up I guess...changing to slotted 3G discs would clear that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si wants supra Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 Will do mate, gas build up any way of soughting that, again the noise is coming from the pedal area, how much are the 3G's, again thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Is it definitely coming from the front brakes mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Your in luck mate, if your on j-spec brakes its a perfect opp. to upgrade to uk brakes! That will than either fix the prob or take the brakes out of the equation. May be worth checking the brearings btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
