'Juddering' brakes after car being stood for 3 weeks

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had an operation just before Christmas and my car has been stood for 3 weeks (tomorrow). I plucked up the courage to go for a little drive today!

When I brake slowly, the brakes kind of judder and I sort of felt it even when I pressed the pedal.

Is this just rust or something that will work itself out after a few more drives?

(They were fine before)

 

Thanks for any help!

most likely rust on the disc etc,it will wear off,does not take long for rust to take hold on disc

This happened to mine after stood for 6 months, I just took it to an empty car park, built some speed up and put the brakes on heavily. After a couple of times it cleared up :)

It needs a full break overhal and can do it for £3000 plus vat ;)

 

On a serious note like said above just will be rust on the discs and if you take it for a good run and use the breaks frequently it will clear. :)
