I have a brake pulling to the left side,
Check and purge for air bubble. Clean brake disk, green pads ok, fix all screw, wheel turn well without brake.
You fell it really only if you brake hard by higher speed.
Any idea, thanks for help

Check the operation of the back brakes are they both similar.
Go out for a run of say 2 or 3 miles without using the brakes.
Be very careful here, are both brake discs the same temperature do not burn your self!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm wondering about a brake caliper starting to sieze on which will be intermittent when it starts.
Also from speed if you just put the brakes on gently are you getting any judder through the pedal. In that case renew both front discs.

It's one of your brake caliper pistons seizing you should be able to work it free if not its a £20 note to uncle melvin and a seal kit to fit how do I know...... guess what I'm doing to my car tomorrow morning I fitted new pads and when I backed the pistons back into the caliper the Fos inner was stiff. car now pulling to left under braking Time to strip / clean pistons and rebuild Messy job

Check the flexible brake hoses as well if they have not been replaced since 1985. Sometimes they break up internally which causes them to act as a one way valve giving rise to a seized caliper/wheel cylinder type symptoms when there is nothing wrong with the caliper or cylinder

Thanks for answer, i found it, and test it the last weekend =700km.
Stupid, i had control all, but not the Brake Reaction Stays (Crosshead brace), on the left side, the screw what bad quality from the past owner and overturned, i replace it and it works
Unbelief that the front move so match without this simple steel parts

Sukram be careful the bolts on the brake reaction bars are designed to fail in a crash.
