Mmmmmmm this is a funny one. The brake link may be something. I remember a friend of mine had issues with an ABS ECU that was going haywire and started "applying" the brakes. Maybe that is what is happening to yours.

If the calipers haven't been changed yet (I assumed they had) then that is indeed the first point to check. RRs have a tendency to have their calipers binding. Mine has both rear calipers changed (common issue on SCs it seems). MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Calipers have not been changed but are perfectly free. Both front brakes are getting equally hot. When the brakes bind you can release them by lifting the pedal. when the brakes are not binding there appears to be adequate free play in the pedal. I should add that I am a trained Mechanic and own a garage. We don't see too many of these but the conclusion we came too was that it must be the abs/stability control bringing the front brakes on. I really did think the dealer would of pinpointed the fault straight away but not so. The last set of pads lasted 3000 miles. This gives some indication of the extent of the problem. Thanks for the advice guys. |

Keep us posted on what you find and how it was resolved. Looks like the ABS or HDC acting up indeed. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
