Hi all,

my test is due in May which has got me thinking.

I had an advisory last year for brakes only meeting something like 57% efficiency. (I believe 50% is the lower limit?). When driving on the road the brakes felt absolutely fine, and progressive like they should, not like a horrible combo van that nearly put me through the windscreen!

Anyway since then I've changed the front discs and pads, the rear pads, the brake fluid, and changed the abs ecu which I know will probably make no difference!

The brakes now might feel marginally better i think, but they would still stop the world before all that work.

My point is, was the 57% test result innacurate for any reason, as I think the brakes are amazing. i should also add that I have suspected they just want the work (even though I do it myself).

Thanks all!
