MOBY GOES TO TURKEY. A tam and pups adventure.

[Northernraider]

Got to be worth a new caliper for piece of mind.

Nowt wrong with the caliper though . Everything moves freely on it. And it isn't that old by the looks of it.

But it keeps giving problems probably sticks when it gets hot something distorting probably.

Do as you are told just replace it boy.

As long as he brings me 30 bottles of a decent French Red I might let him, 50 bottles would clinch it.

1.5ltr for €5, fill up with this Tam,your carpark attendant will be more than happy...

I might well have to ...BUT I'd like to make sure it's not something else causing the problem first. They're no cheap for this van.

Haven't taken many pics the last few days , there's a couple on my drone of nafplion but I've not downloaded them to my phone yet . These are the only ones I've taken. Grey with showers yesterday and it looks much the same this morning, going to move again today .

Your photos are ok once again

 

[Lenny HB]

Lol , the pad closest in the photo has zero lining left on it

When I said even, I meant the wear is flat across the surface, I may be dumb but not that dumb.

I've tasted geek wine .

 

[jockaneezer]

Make sure your handbrake cable isn't jamming up on that side Tam and sticking the brake on ?
Just welded up an adapter from an inch square drive socket to a half inch square so I can torque stuff up via my multiplier, some of the boy's forestry equipment is that tight that I think that the garage moves when I go to undo it !

 

[125BEER]

Greek wine when in Greece is perfect. (the first glass is ........) but after €5 is a good buy

Aye the handbrake is separate jock it's got shoes inside the disc/drum for handbrake . The pads are just the service brake. I need to adjust the handbrake too though

Tam, have you checked that the caliper carrier is not bent or distorted or even not allowing the pads to run true to disc.
That could cause one side to drag.

Clutching at straws I know but it must be something obvious that is causing the caliper not to equalise on the disc after brake release.

Will be interesting to know when you do eventually find the problem.

 

[tacr2man]

Yeah I have a torque wrench for tightening. I'm sure they're only meant to be 180nm .. or at least that's what I've been putting them too. I think the garage had them torqued to 10 times that as they were not wanting to come off again.

I'm hoping it was just down to the fact that the guy who fitted the pads in Turkey never cleaned and regreased the sliders.
I removed them cleaned all the old crap off them and regreased them this time. I will see how it goes for now and I will remove the rear wheels again later and see what the score is .

I've a dodgy slider on the rh front too that needs replaced, they are notorious for sticking and really should be removed cleaned and regreased more regularly than just when pads are changed. Especially as this van had sat around a lot doing nothing before I bought it. Getting the rear wheels off has always been a problem which is why I've not spent anytime cleaning everything up on this like I did with previous vans . If I hadn't felt I was inconveniencing that tyre fitter guy the other day I'd have spent a bit more time and really cleaned up all the brake components but I just wanted it back on the road without the grinding.

If I had one of those torque multiplier things with me I'd have the back wheels off at the next decent floored carpark I stayed in and give both sides a good going over. But I know I'd still have bother getting these wheels off as I no longer have an extension bar to reach the nuts on the rear wheels.

Been up and down a lot of hills today as we moved further on towards monemvasia, notice a difference in the hill climbing so I think the brake was sticking on before and it's not at the minute.

Aye that's the right year but doesn't seem to cover the 35.12 . For some reason every one of those spec sheets I find quotes a 5 stud wheel pattern but mine has 6

Many years ago had a Kia Sorent new, from day one on a long run the L/H rear was running hot short runs no problem, it went back to the dealers about half a dozen time, new calliper, pads and balance valve still same issue, being an engineer decided to have a look myself, took the flex hose to calliper off, with a air line blew through one way ok blew through the other way ( return and had back pressure, cut open hose and found when manufactured a slither of rubber had detached from in side the hose causing a one way valve

Yes when I had the wheel bearing replaced on that side for its mot the mechanic had clamped the flexi hose on that side and it then caused the brakes to sieze on .. the flexi hose was then replaced and as far as I was aware the issue was solved....but then it siezed up or jammed on again at somepoint and caused the outside pad to wear dramatically and eat in to the disc in Turkey... fitted new pads and it was OK again for a while till the other day it did the same.

It's been a recurring problem on that rear side. BUT neither the garage that did the mot work or the one in Turkey did anything with the sliders or caliper pistons. When I took them out the other day there was very little grease on the sliders etc. And while they weren't siezed they were a little sticky. I wondered if it could be the balance valve myself but haven't checked that out . I know the pistons and the sliders are now moving freely at least .

The balance vale usually will have 2 pistons and a one way valve in each piston and a spring, when pressure is applied it closes the valve and when the pressure comes off the one way valve allows the calliper pressure to release, I have seen these cause issues with age, after a long run check the temp on both wheels to confirm drag

Good call, it’s often something simple that you don’t think to look at.

Yes I had a problem with that on my fiat. water in brake fluid had caused internal corrosion.I took the guts out for temporary fix until I obtained a new one

My tyrepal tpms measures temperature also and is a good way to tell if any brakes are binding…

I had a similar problem with my Renault master van , tried everything, new fluid , new sliders , new callipers, new handbrake cables still sticking (but only slightly ) one day I deliberately popped the piston out the calliper , it was rusty inside , another new set of calliper’s & all has been good ever since

Tonight's parkup fokianos beach . First came here new years day 2021 .

The sea looks sooo inviting, is the water warm…?

I wouldn't say warm but it's comfortable after the initial shock ...but crystal clear

 

[Northernraider]

Nearly put my foot through the floor in front of the fridge there. Another job thats been put off but really needs sorting .. the floor on this van is dodgy...

Tonight's parkup fokianos beach . First came here new years day 2021 .

Fokianos - I remember it well.

I had anchored off and rowed ashore. I met a very friendly Austrian family who rented a villa on the beach. They invited me to dinner and sat me down on the terrace with a pre-prandial drink while they changed.

There was a garden shower in front of me, where suddenly appeared a 20 year-old with a gorgeous figure who stripped off under the shower.

Memories, but they are worth keeping.

All Tam can show us is naked dogs.

The villa must have been knocked down lol ... there's only 2 beach bars here now and no 20 year olds with gorgeous figures

Austrians/Germans can't wait to get their kit off. In Croatia a couple of German girls in VW camper went swimming in their bikinis then just stripped off to dry.
