Weaker brakes

[AcID ZeR0]

My pedal feels harder than normal today it was fine last night, the car still brakes as it should no loss in perfomance in that area, could I put this down to all the salt on the roads or is there something more to it?

Bump please as I've got to drive to work in a bit.

Could be colder fluid??? If it's hot then it gets spongier so does the reverse happen when it gets cold? lol

Should be fine really though mate - even if the servo assistance packs up, you can still stop. (just by standing both feet on the pedal.. LoL)

LOL I remember what the brakes like without the servo when me and my mates tried to bump start it not a nice feeling as your rolling down the hill preying it's going to start as you've got bugger else way of stopping.

Something that is worth a mention though is the front brake pads are running a bit low, I'll probably mention it to HI-Q tommorow as they replace my Fan belt, they're charging me £60 for fan belt and pas belt inc fitting at £40ph

Going by £40ph any body est. how much it'd cost for some new front pads and fitting?

my breaks felt the same today, didnt think anything of it....

 

[AcID ZeR0]

It's probably me, I'm like that with all the cars I've had (...destroyed) I try and pick faults with them and in the end in my head I'm always worrying about diffrent things which usually result in nothing.

Front pads are only cheap under £20 from Halfords.
Check the servo assist line though it that fails the pedal goes very hard.

 

[AcID ZeR0]

It's not hard as in hard it's just that theres no play if you know what I mean not a lot of progressive breaking if you get what I mean.

personally, i prefer it like that lol

Got the car back Hi-Q changed the PAS belt and the fan belt for £50 pretty decent they showed me the old belt too the fan belt was frayed and was on it's way out (dreads to think what the cams like...)
