(Home) Townace brakes pulsing

Hi All,
New to townace's and bought one today.
Not sure if the old owner is on this forum but we bought this one from near bristol and it is a TD super extra 10 million????
whatever that means!
this one has the exact same symptoms as the one mentioned by "javed ji014d4055@blueyonder.co.uk".
is it the same vehicle????
if not, has the problem been cured and what did you do to cure it?
Regards,
Spence

I've just bought one myself, and yes it had the same prob. However, I'm assuming that more than one of the brake discs are warped, therefor making it seem like the brakes are pulsating. Had a similar problem with my other car, but as it was only one disc, the problem was more systematic.

Either way, if I get it done soon, or someone else beats me to it, keep us informed.

I have had this problem and it was traced to a rear brake drum being oval this seemed to have been caused buy some body trying to bash the drum off. fitted 2 new drums problem solved. may be worth checking? cheers Russell.

Just machined the front discs on the bongo van. Perfect. Now i'm going to miss the pulsating sensation to my feet.

Bugger!

Took mine to the garage to have it checked and it came back alot better but still pulsing.
They took the rear drums off which were very well siezed on!
will investigate replacing the lot after chrimbo.
