A family friend often lets me use his RB44 and he has asked me to have a look at the brakes which pull to one side. I did quite a bit of research on the internet and have discovered that the Mk1 versions had a braking problem from new, usually pulling to the left. This one seems to pull to the right however. The pedal isn't spongy so I don't think they need bleeding, but is there a way to adjust them up?
I was having a look on the internet and realised how many different variations there are of them (each with a seperate workshop manual. I had a look on this website http://www.dodge50.co.uk/site-info.html to try and determine which model it was, and from the round headlights I think it is a Mk 1, but the chassis number doesn't seem to correlate with the example given on the site- any ideas as to how I work out which type of brakes it has/which manual is needed?
The other problem is that yesterday I went to start it and it was struggling to start, the cold start aid is empty but what does it need to be topped up with?
Thanks in advance, Harry
Edit: I can take pictures of the vehicle and post them up if that would help.

Hi Guys,
A family friend often lets me use his RB44 and he has asked me to have a look at the brakes which pull to one side. I did quite a bit of research on the internet and have discovered that the Mk1 versions had a braking problem from new, usually pulling to the left. This one seems to pull to the right however. The pedal isn't spongy so I don't think they need bleeding, but is there a way to adjust them up?
