[W126 Coupe] Re: BRAKE DRAG

[Shayegan, Richard]

My 380SE does this too, and as far as I can tell from asking my dad it's
done it as long as he can remember (original owner) and as far as the
mechanic can tell there's nothing wrong with my system. Something I've
noticed though is it doesn't matter if the cars been parked so long to
cool down, it has to be the beginning of the day. I can't help but
wonder if it's because it's parked on an incline when it's at my house
(i.e. only overnight). Is yours also parked on an incline?

Ever since I have owned my SEC it has had a "thump" on the brake pedal
the first time they are used ,like leaving the garage and going down the
drive,it does not happen at any other time.
Also there is a high amount of drag as the car will not roll on a slight
incline,whereas my 450SL will freely roll away down the same stretch of
road.

After a trip of 30 mins all four wheels are warm to touch about the same
amount,is this a symptom of the ABS.

    Any thoughts most welcome           Kind Regards  Dan Gardner
