When I bought the HDi it had recently had new OE discs and pads (brembo I believe) so I didn't think I would need to look at the braking system for some time...
However...
When braking at low speed you can feel the brakes 'pulsing' almost. It's not like ABS, which is more of a judder you can feel through the pedal.
It's like if you hold the brake pedal in one position you get 'Brake-----brake-----brake----brake----- and you can feel the car rocking under the braking force.
Higher speed braking is unaffected, although the ABS does seem over-intrusive at times. I know the car had a driveshaft replaced due to dodgy ABS, but believed this to have been fixed. Could this point to a possible culprit?
Servicing the car on Saturday so will be an ideal opportunity to have a butchers as it were.
