While the car is warming up and im coming to a junction, the car feels like something is making it slow down a lot faster. Say the revs are at 2.5K and i let off, it feels like something is pulling it down. It doesn't stall or anything i was just wondering what it is that is doing it? Once its heated up its fine. Thanks for looking :D

possible rear brakes-hanbreak. could be sticking until they get hot. just a thought m8.

 

It could be! I know my rears need replacing as they have a few nice lines through them! Opps

Could well be front caliper pots binding..mine did this ;a mate of mine pulled the pots out ,cleaned and put them back in and,wow !!! the difference (car was much faster!!)they just got bad over time and I didn't notice until they were almost siezed now they have done it again so time for a refurb kit

I was going to say make sure the hand brake is off:mac1:

 

But as already said above - check whether your brakes are sticking/binding.

 

Richard;)

yep ive had this problem a brand new set of pads lasted 500 miles :(

haha nah they where really binding on i hadnt had the car long took it for an mot and he said it was seized so i got some new pads i put loads of duck oil on the piston and managed to get it in far enough to put the new pads in and when i checked it it was releasing like it should went back and he spun the wheel and gave me the pass but it must of siezed again coz 500 miles and they was gone so i took the piston out the next time and cleaned it all up and all good now :)

good excuse. but would sound better if you just admit you was driving like a mad man. lol

 

 

:rofl::rofl: :tongue:

Lol i swear this was my thread???

hey sorry murt :duffer::duffer: have you checked any thing yet ??

Not yet, will have a look later hopefully

does it do it if you push the clutch in ?

does it do it if you push the clutch in ?

 

come to think of it, no it doesnt

Then its Engine related. Hard to tell without seeing it myself, but you could just be experiencing normal cold start engine braking ? - The oil is thicker, all the metal parts have tigher tolereances - there is generally more friction so everything feels tighter including natural engine braking. The engine is also using its cold start fuel maps which affects driveablity.

I'd agree with Legrath. Just sounds like the usual increased engine breaking you get when the engine is cold.
