My 350SE has a strange fault in the brakes, and I'm wondering what you guys think.
Now, the brakes work wonderfully in day to day use. The ability to stop such a heavy car so quickly is mighty impressive to me.
The scary thing though, is I've realised holding the brakes hard-ish for a long time (say, 5 minutes maybe) at a standstill is they will suddenly fade....
But will pump back up easily enough.
But that's not what this thread is about. I suspect I'll need to replace the master cylinder to fix that problem, which I would have on another spares car.
Everytime I touch the brakes when driving however, there's usually a noticable little "clunk" when I take my foot off. Doesn't affect anything really, it's just noticable and isn't particularly desirable to have.
Just wondering what you guys might think this is, and is it possible it's somehow related to the fading problem?
