Brake disk temperatures?
#3
After a 40 mile drive, presumably with numerous applications of the brake at various points in the journey, I would expect the brake disks to be warm. If one is still cold and the others fairly uniformly warm/hot, I'd suggest that the one that is cold isn't doing much.

Go for a drive and do a few hard stops in a row, and re-do your check (carefully, as they'll be hot!) - if it's still noticeably colder than the others then that corner needs investigation. You'll probably find that the car will pull to one side with one brake giving low effort relative to the others, although it's much less pronounced with the rears compared to the fronts.
