Just get them good and hot, then allow them to cool gently.



Thanks, will try that. The discs and pads are just from the local car spares shop

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

I was a bit sceptical but after my journey to work there is a definite improvement. As Harry said, it's easy to do & costs nowt.

I also use a similar fix for a juddering clutch. I habitually barely slip the clutch, so it gets almost no wear of the friction surfaces. I assume it gets a bit of oil mist on on it and eventually it begins to judder a bit.



When it begins to do that, I simply do a hard clutch slipping take off, to clean the friction surfaces up - no more clutch judder.

Check your flexible brake pipes, these can collapse internally so not all the fluid can return to the master cylinder so the brakes can stay on partially.

If they have never been replaced for what they cost I would be tempted to replace them due to there age.

I would suspect mine haven't so maybe new flexi's may be an idea.

Already done that though, I've now changed all on both sides, it's better now and not so much steering wheel judder, so will see how it goes for now. I have a few miles to do in it next week, so see how that goes.
