Brake issue
ok learned gents, my Rover 75 had gradually developed a brake issue where the pedal is still hard when pressed but the stopping power feels way reduced.
Have not had any abs lights.
Almost like there is no brake booster operating.
Cleaned the brake callipers and discs down in situ with spay brake cleaner which seemed to help a little, then washed the discs down with the hose and took it for a spin.
First couple of braking was really good but as they dried out it went back to reduced stopping power.
Seems this has gradually got worse last few months.
Have not done the pads for a few years.
Could it be the pads or discs have become glazed or similar.?
Not had any fluid level drop so dont think the pads are worn down to much.
