burning rubber smell from brakes
by ellave » Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:04 pm
HI guys, I'm a newbie Liberty owner, picked up my my09 3.0r Spec.b manual last weekend. Loving the car so far although yesterday I noticed the smell of burning rubber coming from the brakes. Seems to be from all 4 wheels, anything I should be concerned about?

Does the car have new pads or rotors? Often new rotors or pads have a thin coating of oil thaat burns off in the first few kms. If the pads or rotors are new I wouldn't be concerned, it's pretty normal.

Thanks I may ask the garage were I picked her up from what work was recently done. It's only got 45k on the clock, picked the car up Sat & the smell only started yesterday, so maybe drive 200km before it started.
