3. Re: TR4 - Wet Brakes - Scary Problem (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2000 16:44:58 EDT; Brian, as for "the cardinal rule" -- my TR4 was the family car for six years in the '60's.

4. TR4 - Wet Brakes - Scary Problem (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2000 17:24:37 -0400; Hi Brian, It has to do with driving through puddles. I've had some domestic cars do the same thing. There's nothing wrong with your TR4. Water simply splashes in and gets your drums, discs, pads, and; /html/triumphs/2000-09/msg01211.html (9,747 bytes)
5. Re: TR4 - Wet Brakes - Scary Problem (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2000 20:19:28 EDT; Brian...Interesting query. My assessment would be the pads need replacing and perhaps the rotors as well if they are too deeply scored (grooved). Remember the pads on disc brakes contact the rotor at; /html/triumphs/2000-09/msg01222.html (7,661 bytes)

7. Re: TR4 - Wet Brakes - Scary Problem (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, Sep 25 2000 13:11:59 GMT-0400; Thanks for the help. I was saying I don't have the rertracted pads problem that bad rotors or a broken pressure limit valve would cause.

8. Re: TR4 - Wet Brakes - Scary Problem (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 11:38:19 -0600; I was probably a bit unclear on my reply. I meant to point out that my TR4 DOES have the soft brakes after a long drive -- or in the morning -- but no trouble on my daily commute that requires regula; /html/triumphs/2000-09/msg01254.html (8,095 bytes)
9. RE: TR4 - Wet Brakes - Scary Problem (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 10:55:47 -0700; IMO your problem is likely to be a leaking (or missing) residual pressure valve. Warped rotors would cause the problem almost immediately, while air in the lines would cause it all the time. Randall; /html/triumphs/2000-09/msg01256.html (7,660 bytes)
