Hi all,

Went out in the xe today to do a bit of shopping... Normally I allow plenty of distance under braking etc after my pile up on the m4 :( But i was poodling along today on the A1(m) doing 70, and someone just pulled out doing 50 :eek: braked hard and the rear end wanted to step out... :wtf:
The front left dug in and the rear right wanted to come round... Wasn't the nicest of feelings :roll:

Anyone got any ideas? Fcuked caliper? or something else? Obviously want to get this sorted before it goes on the track :thumb:

Cheers guys :thumb:

goto a friendly MOT place and ask if you can do a brake test on the rollers... it will give you a clue as to which end/corner is being naughty.

will help save you from changing stuff thats not needed.
