Omega General Help / Brakes
« on: 18 April 2024, 17:53:46 »
The last time my Omega was out of the garage[for a short drive around the yard in front of the lock up]a couple of years ago the n/s front brake "grabbed" before the o/s,admittedly the yard surface is hard packed dirt with stones/grit on top.So the brakes obviously need work,not to mention that at present the brake pedal hits the floor now without the brakes working! I fitted a new master cylinder some time ago and some time before that a new n/s rear caliper[the o/s rear was free].My thinking now is to do a rebuild on the o/s rear and both fronts as new front calipers seem to be above £100 each[which is more than twice the price of front calipers for my V70 . The question is as I can't recall what master cylinder/rear caliper I bought how do I tell which brake system my car has? I've seen used front calipers[not that I'm thinking of buying them]which says they're for a Lucas system while new calipers or rebuild kits say they're for either Girling or ATE systems,so potentially three systems to choose from
