Anyone know anything about "power-assisted brakes" on the Alpine? My
mechanic informed me that I had a bad leak in the cylinder of my
power-assisted brake mechanism. He found a kit to rebuild the assembly
(after determining that the cylinder was not scored) and put everything
back together, sans leak. The problem now however, is that a spring is
evidently sticking, holding the brakes ON randomly. What will happen is
you'll start from a stop (after applying the brakes) and the engine will
seriously lug through 1st and 2nd and damned near stop in 3rd - because
the brakes are still on! Pumping the brakes hard a couple of times will
free the spring, but it is quite irritating - as you might imagine.
Any ideas out there? Do I need to just break this kit in? Or is
something really wrong?
Help! I love this car, want to keep it running well.
