Matt L Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Noticed this twice now when ever my z is left for a few days standing down the drive the brakes (all of them) appear to stick and takes a bit of force to move the car but once its moved and used a few times all the rubbish on the disks goes. Question is am i breaking anything or damaging the brakes in anyway? (i leave the car down the drive with no handbrake on just in gear and with a brick behind the wheel). Also noticed that on the passenger side (door side) the plastic trim under what would be the glove box on a normal car i noticed water was around it/coming from behind it anyone know where the water is coming from? Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M9O OEY Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 My brakes do the same mate possibly the brake calipers sticking slightly . I'm pretty sure the puddle is the air con , possibly something to do with the air con removing moisture out of the air but im sire someone will be along who knows why , this happens to everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I think all cars do the same, especially after damp cold or wet weather. Nothing to worry about. I rock the car in gear to loosen them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RisingPower Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Surface corrosion on the discs from moisture? I.e. Perfectly normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Have had the same with my brakes too last couple of days, have since parked up in gear, no worries since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 always leave it in gear with no handbrake in the garage. A good run should help clear issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 happens everytime I use the car if it's not used for a few days it's a slight rusting of the discs get down and have a look you will see them slightly orange that's what's sticking to the pads, it's nothing at all mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
