Default 1982 RollsRoyce ?

It`s a SilverSpirit. If I do not start the engine I can push it around anywhere I what BUT as soon as I start the engine the brakes lock-up I don`t even put my foot on the brake and they`ll lock-up! Any Ideas?

Thanks

i say check the brake lines! drain, refill, bleed and see if that does the trick.

hmmm very interesting problem I would put it down to a bad break booster drawing excess air and pulling the break peddle in ( has there been any mods to the breaks ) are the vacuum pipes connected to where they should be and is the one way check valve in the in the vacuum line from the break booster ( it might also be the check valve has failed which will cause a similar reaction ) worth a try,

edit: also check if the check valve is facing the right way

Problem is, I don't think most Rolls owners even know how to change the oil. I'm sure they'll give you some pointers on how much they tip their chaffeur to take it in for them.
