went out greenlaning today and my brake pedal started to play up. basically all it did was travel a little further than it usually does before resistance was felt. if i came off it and pumped again i would feel resistance in the usual place. the pedal doesnt hit the floor, it just drops noticably more than usual.
later on i could smell what i beleive to be my brake pads burning. when i pump the brakes a bit i notice that the smell goes and all is back to normal.
on the way home it did this all the way. does this sound like a typical problem of a part? i looked on paddocks and there arnt many spares so i should be able to resolve it quickly.
i will check the fluid levels tomorrow but im guessing sticky seals on the master cylinder, causing pads to stick.
maybe? i dunno, im not a brake specialist!
Cheers,
