Hi all,
the nearside front caliper on my white 3500S seems to drag intermittantly. The car will roll freely, and sometimes can be driven miles with no issue, then can suddenly over heat resulting in smoke and the peddle hitting the floor. What is the normal cure for this? A good clean up and new seals? Would new pistons normally be required? I also find it strange that it is always the nearside front gives trouble. My first P6 (a 2200SC auto) suffered the same problem (only once, think all the heat cured it ) and my red one can bind on fully in the workshop sometimes, but then it is fine on the road!
Regards,
Dave
