Problem solved, sort of! So the pads in the drum had completely disintegrated

Ahem....

If it was a GT I'd be thinking that this was the EPB shoes delaminating.

Yes this was exactly it, thank you!

I dont suppose you have a price for replacement do you??

No need. I'm only right sometimes

Appears to be the same for all variants. Scuderia are £245 + vat. Ebay has them rather cheaper. (£100 ish)

That's great thanks, seems like GT problems are QP problems too!

I think it's more to do with the entire concept of EPBs TBH but....

So *far* I've not had any issues but I wonder if I should start working out how to stop the EPB engaging on my Ghibli in the same way as you can on the GT

Fab. Got a link? And do they do pads and rotors?

Begging for a link now )
Found the part on Eurospares £99.75 set of 4, guessing they sell them to do both sides at the same time?

 

[tweedless]

Also I think I am missing one part from the Fastenings and accessories annoyingly!

I believe there should be 2 of the straight bolt type things on the right hand side of the picture near the bottom of the spring.

**** design this in my opinion. Doesn't help you today but just venting as we have all been there at some time.

Yep, as I thought just looked again on Eurospares, £127 there.
For that 1 little bolt, that has cost me more than the actual brake shoes for both sides! Doh!

First car I've ever had with EBP and I hate it, hated it before this happened!
I thought the Hand/Foot brake in my C and E-class was weird when I first went to Mercedes, but I quite like that now!

Just put your reg in the search. I have never looked for rotors

Thanks. Don't have a record of my reg but can find stuff manually

Look on the front or back of your car. It is recorded there.

Out of stock on AutoDoc, Maserati must have bought them all up ;-)
