So cars off road so started it up too give it a wee run and warm up start up the car left it for 20mins n thought I go a run round the block so everything's moving and put in reverse pop clutch up and bang the just hear scraping so get out car and look and here's this lying underneath the car remains of a pad but thing is want scraping or anything anyone had this problem before?
Been told could of been because cheap pads

Is that just the backing plate? Seen pads fall out the rear calipers before.

 

[sam_clio182]

Yeah but absolutely nothing on it down too the metal never heard or come across this before didn't think was possible

How longs it been parked up? Did you leave the handbrake on for ages?

 

[Chris205]

Yep, happened to my saxo the other day, upgraded brakes and got some pads 'given' to fit, after 3 days the pad had came away from the backing plate and was making a hell of a racket.

It's worse with drums. Should've seen them trying to push my car off the back of a low loader with both back wheels locked. It was like a puppy throwing a tantrum.

twice ive had the rear pads fall out of these shitey rear callipers!! just be thankful you were going slow when it happens!! i wasnt on one occassion and its made for a scarey few seconds of brake pumping!! absolutely awful design so i made sure my pads had some extra retainers now!

however, since i was moving on both occassions, i have no idea if the material had come away from the pad or anything lol.

2-3 weeks hand brake has been off the whole time tho so wouldn't damage the brakes but this has happened...

Jeezzo I could imagine brown trouser moment!! luckily I was just reversing out my driveway when it happened still annoying tho! I've no idea too damage started getting dark will need too get it looked at see where the rest of it is

nothing new to be honest..... Happens with cars that have been parked up for a while.... sometimes the brake's are locked on, then when you pull off rips the friction material off the pad. usually when rust has set in on the disks etc. Picked a 206 up once for work.. had been standing for months... drum brakes on the rear..... brakes seized on at first.. released em after a bit of clutch rocking bk & forth... went 100 yards down the & the friction material of the one shoe.... flew off and jammed in the bottom of the drum, locked the wheel up!!!! After getting the drum off.... the shoe's were well rusty!!

 

[sam_clio182]

But didn't think this would happen as left the hand brake off n brakes haven't been engaged just in gear with wheel chokes just annoying more than anything wheels seized now will need too strip down but an excuse for new brakes in pads all round!

 

[Fraser.J.]

Oh really?, never had any trouble with them.

 

[Dan@SJM]

I've changed about 8 sets that have done it. 2 sets were in my own cars. I stand by my opinion that they're shite for that reason alone.
