Put the D*lly back on the road after 2 years of storage. New pads, fluid, systems all bled. Same old discs. When stopping hard she pulls to the left.... sticky calliper? |

Probably, or still air in the callipers...... or a littlebit of grease at one of the disks... Give it 2 or 3 days (driving and braking ofcourse), bleed it again and when it doesn't get better then dismantle the callipers.... You should check them always on easy going??? when putting in new brakepads....... |

Sam - a sticky caliper can sometimes result in the pad rubbing - to find out, stop without using the brakes (well, not using them much - eg uphill) and then feel both discs. If one of them burns your fingers you've definitely got a sticky caliper. If neither of them do, you might have a sticky caliper but it might be something else. |

perhaps the corroded disks have come back to bite you on the arse, Like geo says bleed the fronts then check that there isnt contaminated pads or that the rust on the disk has rubbed off and your back to good metal. is there any scoring ridges on the disk? it reduces the braking efficiency. £30 odd quid online for disks, pads are cheap, there really isn't much of an argument for trying to re use sub standard old stuff. |

Is the right-hand disc worn more than the left-hand one? If the left-hand disc has more surface area in contact with the new pads, that brake will work better, which will make it pull to the left. |

Are there any oil leaks? If the front crankshaft seal's going, oil can leak out and get blown by the fan over the right hand disc, which naturally causes the car to pull to the left on braking. |
