Re: Brake drum issues with pulsing brake pedal

The pulsing is mechanical as it matches the wheel revolutions. It is intermittent though which is strange and it was not there before rear brake overhaul.

Re: Brake drum issues with pulsing brake pedal

Plot thickens. Rear now has new drums, cylinders, shoes, hoses and fluid. I couldnt feel it on way home but mechanic said it is but he can not understand as it seems to be intermittent.
May try new front discs next month if it is still bad.

Re: Brake drum issues with pulsing brake pedal

If heavy braking the foot is pushed back repeatedly. If braking at slow speed it it is much slower and less aggressive. They worked it back to the rear brakes on the rolling road and also isolated one front disc. Had an advisory for a rear bearing on last MOT. When I bought the van 4 years ago the p...

Re: intermitant wiper relay layout.

Read all that on the wiki and printed off but I can not tell which blade is which so dont know which one to wire up. On the wiper block that you pull out each space is labelled so you know where each wire goes. The relay I bought does not label the blades so cant do it. Somebody must know which is w...
