I've changed plenty of brakes without issue, and generally meticulous about my work.
I've just fitted new discs and ferodo premier pads, and now bedding them in.
But now I'm braking a little harder I can feel a notchy abs type feedback through the pedal at the very end of the braking phases -...
Had another look today, as i think the cold weather may have killed the battery.
Its drawing 0.15 amps with the radio plugged in.
That doesn't sound excessive, but not ideal from what i can tell. What do you think?

Cambelt due in 1 year.
Will stick 12 months MOT on
Sadly a CAT D with small crease in boot floor.
Is it even worth getting the cambelt done?
No i didnt. the problem only occurs with the radio plugged in, so id have thought that is fault. As opposed to a plug or wire shorting out.
Do you think its worth a try?
No, as i kept checking and paranoid it was going to do it again..
Then the other day my battery died completely. I assumed it was the cold snap killing off an old battery, but after some checks found the stereo was at it again.
When unplugged there is barely any drain.
So 12 months after replacing my previous aftermarket head unit, the replacement unit is doing the same thing - draining the battery.
Works fine, but its drawing about 1.2amp when car is off.
Am i just unlucky with these head units?
Anyone got a spare bluetooth one they want to sell? :)
Thanks - i'll remember for next time.
In regards to changing these - for those who haven't done it before, it can be done with just removing one half of the bumper and pulling it down to access the light cluster.
