reeces555 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Call me paranoid but I'd rather get all niggles sorted under warrenty......testing the brakes out after buying the zed today I pressed hard on the brakes from motorway speeds and when getting out the front passenger brake especially was smoking and smelling of burning is this normal?

alexwitham Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Has the car recently been cleaned? Could be some product on the discs being burnt off. My old Type R used to cook brakes, but only if I was driving like a total bell end or on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sat trying to think how to explain the hard braking...emergency stop are the words I couldnt think of. Def not everyday braking but like I said wanted to try them out rather than find out in 4 months they were faulty. Thanks for your help mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
