Didnt you notice the brake performance going downhill though ? :? :cry:

Could be corroded brake pipes or something like that? dout its much anyways ;)

actually never noticed it until going to the MOT test centre! i thought braking felt a bit wierd when i couldn't stop for a roundabout :cry:

Siezed callipers (if it a mk5) ie pistons ect take a calliper off and get a m8 to pump the peddel and see if the piston moves at all ;) Mine you you may want a G clamp or brake tool to push it back in if it work ;)
