Thanks to All for the replies. In special to Whunter (super Moderator)
the worn brake lines acting as a one way valve is a problem I heard of before and perfecly plausible and /or applicable on this case.
Yes you are right the R/F disc is almost gone and the pads are approx
60to75% worn. I have NEW disks, pads,hub bearings and caliper rebuild kit
soooo this auto will go in to my garage and will not come out on the road
until it is repaired properly.I will look in to bleeding the system and will
most likely replace the brake lines with steel braided ones(perf prods)
I do not want to replace all the brake parts mentioned above and have the new rotors ruined.It is ALL I was trying to avoid. Such as an ABS egaging
when it is not supposed to (common on some aircraft).
As for the dealer tech's, mechanics,I'm sure they have their place and no
doubt SKILLS. But the nearest MBZ dealer wanted $1800.00 to fix a miss on My Ladyfriend's 280 ce and I was able to repair it for approx $350
quite a substantial savings (not to mention fringe benefits).
Well thanks to all again and keep those ideas coming.Mr-tuanis
