we i got the car back from the test station today still failed but not on a lot as i said before they could not test my front brakes because the front spoiler was to low
well i solved that problem the brakes front brakes failed on an inbalance and was told that the servo was not working,so when i checked the servo under the bonnet the servo was drawing in air where it joins to the master cylinder :oops: i undone the two nuts on the master cylinder and found out i had not replaced the o ring used to seal the two together servo now works a treat :P as for the inbalance it could that i have just changed the front pads i will re blead them tomorow and see if that helps or has anyone got any advice on the inbalancehttp://16vminiclub.com/gallery/albums/userpics/RIM00001%7E0.JPG

well its an interesting looking car. Looks like i imagine the first mock-ups of the new mini might have looked like.... chck the calliper pistons and sliders both move freely, and that the carrier surfaces that the pads are in contact with are clean and smooth. Good luck

thanks for your advice,that was all done when i replaced the pads,i think it might be one of the disks the outside face on one it has a slight hump on it so the pad is only pulling on the centre of the disk.
