Opie Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 My seldom used TR3A would not cooperate on my drive this morning. Starting was fine but it would not roll freely. I jacked up car and all wheels rotated easily. I could not roll car manually out of garage as I always do with very small effort. Tires are at pressure. Drove up and down driveway until it rolled at what I call 85% free roll. Any ideas? Should I take it out to high speed road to help it? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Opie Posted October 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 I went ahead and highway drove it. All seems fine. It was strange since I drive it at about 6 weeks intervals and the rear drag never happened before. Differential fluid was at level. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Flat-spotting of the tyres. It happens if a car is static for a long time. After a while of driving the rubber warms up and the flat-spots disappear. Different makes of tyres do this to different degrees.
