Hello, I am still under warranty an plan to go for fixing it at the dealer but did someone have an idea of the root cause of this kind of breaking issue please ?
In case of strong braking on dry road the car pulls very hard to the right, on highly wet road moderate breaking is enough to pulls the car to the right !
I already look and no grease on the brake, no dust, no stone in the pad and no any noise... everything looks good but is not ...
Thanks,

If there is no grease on the disc then these symptoms also arise with a sticking caliper. You say the car is still under warranty - is this the dealer warranty on a second hand Morgan or the factory warranty on a new one? The reason for asking is that a sticking caliper is highly unusual on a new or nearly new car. It is very common with an older car that has been off the road for weeks at a time.

Hi, It's a brand new 2 years car, so I presume also that it's not a caliper issue...

Think it is highly likely to be a sticking caliper, or, as alrady suggested, could be grease on the brake disk from over enthusiastic greasing.

Should be straightforward for the dealer to fix.

Have you had it on a brake balance roller? Like a MOT test over here would demand?

Assume nothing about the age when a brake caliper sticks, yes I have had that on a two year old car, a Suzuki Jeep.

Agree - sounds like a sticking caliper to me.

I would say it's more likely to be a delaminated nearside Caparo front pad - I had identical symptoms on my 2 year old Sport.

Stripped them out and replaced with new - good as new.

Just take the wheel off it will be quite obvious once you remove the pad it will be in two pieces the friction material from the steel backing plate and an easy job to do.

If the dealer is close let him take the warranty claim.

Firstly and obvious, but check tyre pressures are correct and equal across the axle.

Often if you do get contamination of a disc or pad friction material it affects the other side.

e.g if right hand side works fine the car will pull to the right of there is an issue with the left side not being so effective.

Also check rears for balance.

I have had his problem a couple of times.
Promblem at the rrea brakes.
The rear brake cylinder rust or corrodes, giving the effet described.
I hink the quality is not the best, as my garage has shown me how a rusted/orroded rear brake cylinder is reluctant to move.
Never hd a problem with the calipers at font so far.
