Yeah.
It bites with small amount of footbrake with bias turned to the max.

Is there tits on the rear pads? Cant remember now.. If there is they need to be lined up properly

RE: The Racetractor...FCS wounded - Piggy - 06-07-2016
Bushes arrived today...
So got on with that as it was first decent summers eve for car stuff this year
Tried again on the o/s caliper.
Its working lovely...tried readjusting...footbrake it bits immediately.
Handbrake just does almost nothing despite it all operating as it should! So weird.
Also adjusted exhaust a bit...had melted into fuel tank
Exhaust heatshield and cosmetics and i'm good for Pugfest.
Got new brakes bedded in too...well...they were smoking anyway
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - C2K - 07-07-2016
How can it be working properly if you don't have a handbrake?
Would suggest the internal mechanism is misbehaving or the cable not set correctly, but no detail to work with.
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - Piggy - 07-07-2016
Can see clearly the cable operating perfectly.
With the dust boot off, can see it operating.
But it just doesnt apply enough pressure. You can feel a change right at the end of stroke.
Its as though the "cam" profile is too shallow!?
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - cully - 07-07-2016
favourite is the lever shaft to seize enough so the spring don't return the lever fully not letting the self adjuster work

Wish I understood that.
If i did...I would probably agree as i'm think something eternal not adjusting as it truly only begins to do something on the last few degrees of arm movement
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - C2K - 07-07-2016
Cully hit the nail for me, self adjuster not adjusted.
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - Piggy - 07-07-2016
Way to fix or enforce adjustment?
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - welshpug - 08-07-2016
free off handbrake arm and stomp the pedal.

Yeah tried that as first port of call when I first found the issue.
Been there. Got the tshirt. As they say
The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - Tom85 - 08-07-2016
How recent are your handbrake cables? My OSR handbrake was barely working failed MOT, all looked OK in terms of operation but the cable had stretched so wasn't pulling evenly with the NSR (you could see the cable adjuster was lopsided). New OS cable fixed it and I was back up to 60% efficiency!
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - fatlapit - 08-07-2016
I will have a full working system that will be coming off my 306, including callipers, wavy discs, pads, cables and the handbrake itself. could be available. holds the car fine on a tilt bed trailer. so id say its pretty good.
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - Piggy - 08-07-2016
Cable is fine....hence how I can say its operating the lever fine
The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - Tom85 - 08-07-2016
Ah OK. Mine looked fine too and I could see it moving the lever - just not far enough compared to the other side.
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - Piggy - 08-07-2016
Nah it goes 100%
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - Poodle - 11-07-2016
Did you pump out the pedal before reconnecting the cable last time you wound the piston back?
Tbh if all these suggestions are no good then the handbrake adjuster mech is worn to the point the caliper needs replacing, which i've not seen before - they never normally survive that long lol.
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - Piggy - 11-07-2016
Yeah I did pal
Just have to fire on another caliper I guess
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest prep - Piggy - 11-07-2016
PUGFEST 2016...
Only tools used were bar to check wheel bolts, tyre gauge and a screwdriver to swap plates.
Thats a win in my book.
Managed 8 runs in total...not bad going as I only prebooked 4, paid a tenner for 2 extra and had a frenchy buy me 2!
Win.
Returned well...
Need to find this crunching knock...so plan is to refresh the entire suspension and replace both driveshafts with new.
....then its time to move on I think.
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest report - Piggy - 12-07-2016
Thank you kindly to ZX_Volcane for only two decent pics of my car I can find...

In other news...
Started today after being sat since Pugfest..."on the button"...very nice...
The crunchyclonkyclunk though is loud and violent...this weirdly makes me happy as it hopefully now means its more obvious to find!

Really should have handed the keys to Jonny for a run or two...
That first bend I rekon can be taken flat by someone with skill and the last bend I'm such a chicken

Ywwaah it was a blast ...best fun I've had in a long time...so addictive
RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest report - dr_jekyll - 29-07-2016
Just so far from home for me. Would be scared of binning it or breaking down
