[TR] Starting car after storage

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Are you saying the engine runs fine but it won't move because the brakes are holding it back?  What model car is it?
If it is a TR4 or some other model with a single circuit braking system and all the brakes are locked up try cracking open a bleeder and see if that relieves the pressure and frees up the brakes.  If so the master cylinder is likely the problem.

So naturally I decided to gofor a test drive – the tow truck has just dropped the car off.    After about a mile ofdriving, it felt a bit sluggish so I pulled into a Garden Center and tried toturn around.  It stalled and it decided it didn’t want to go anyfurther.  That’s when I called Hagerty for the tow truck.    I have a feeling the brakeshave rusted up and seized.  I have to jack up the car and see which ones –front or back.  Which are more likely to seize?  Probably the backdrums, right? Funny thing though – before I started walking back home, Ifelt each wheel for heat – nothing.
