Test day Thursday. Got a feeling it'll fail as it is getting on now. It won't be mechanical I hope but might be corrosion I think due to being laid up too long.

Good luck, lack of use is not the best thing, it keeps the mileage down but not a lot else

It failed. Brake imbalance front and rear. Strange as drives and stops fine. Even the last track day was very good. New calipers on the rear too plus the 4 pots up front. Time to scrap it!

Funny you should mention scrapping it, a bloke on fb has just posted a tale of woe about his zs failing the mot and it being beyond him to fix it, it read like a catastrophic fail, until I read the fail sheet he posted a picture of, a suspension bush, and a mention of suspension nut locking devices missing, which I read as plain nuts being used instead of Nylocs possibly, so a financial outlay of maybe 20 quid for parts, and a bit of time, craziness

He appears to have deleted the picture of the MOT sheet.

Would anyone know what the brake test figures should be for the ZS in Ibs for front and rear? Curious as to what I am supposed to be achieving. I'm thinking of maybe fitting two bias valves, one for front to back and one for the front side to side for fine tuning once sorted.

I'm not even sure where you'd find those figures, it seems an odd thing to have failed on, left and right imbalance is more common, but front to rear ??

I've just had a read up on the proportioning valve operation, it didn't give any figures sadly, the front and rear brakes pass through the valve but it only alters the fluid flow to the rears, so from that it makes me think that the rears are below efficiency
