Brakes not working as they should..

[veaney]

Hi,


Well my breaks seem to be not working properly i was doing 60 down a country lane last night and put my foot on the breaks as i would normally and it sort of felt like i stalled, but i didnt. I think theres a stone stuck in the brake pad or something.

When i push the brakes it feels like theres something stuck, and when i pump the brakes it gets stiffer and stiffer. Got to travel up to essex tuesday so im quite worried.

you can get them blead and check for about £20-40 mate no biggy but i personally wouldnt take ANY risks with your brakes.

Best do a search for a bit of a guide I've written a few brief guides.

But if your car knodge is limited pay somone or ask a mate who knows what he's doing to help/teach you this isn't something you can can afford to not know what your doing or not do for money reasons.
