Hi everyone. I hope you might be able to help me with this. I have an 03 plate 320CDI ( 135K miles ) that has developed an odd problem with the rear brakes.
Basically the rear pads are always slightly in contact with the rear discs, leading to excessive wear, reduced MPG etc : the car always feels like it is being "held back", so I've stopped driving it.
The indy I use for servicing ( since 101K miles ) has not seen the problem before, suggested it could be the SBC pump playing up, but recommended obtaining a second opinion from an MB dealer.
I paid my local MB dealer for a diagnostic check but they had never seen the problem before either, so said they would send a technical report off to MB head office and they would have an answer in 3 or 4 days : three weeks ( and several chaser calls ) later they still haven't got back to me....
Any thoughts as to what the problem might be ?
Thanks in advance,
Mark68.
