Rotten luck, mate

Maybe you're not doing it right? Send the next Blonde virgin to me and I'll do it for you, just to be sure.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

Warped discs. They are not a myth.

Also the symptom you have where it comes back after use is probably due to heat expansion.

after doing my first track day and finding my brakes shuddering after 5 laps then after cooling down they are fine again for another 5 laps i retract my idea of warped disc,

I would lean towards warped discs. people say its a myth but i think the reality of it is it does happen, but it takes a lot to warp them.

I had the same issue with my mk3 mondeo, when i got it if i put on the brakes at anything over 60mph, it would disintegrate my spine. at lower speeds it wasnt as noticible.
And when you were 10mph down to a complete stop you could feel the braking ease on and off where the disc was putting more pressure on the pad due to the warp.

New discs and pads cured the problem.

Apparantly its a common problem with those cars due to not using a torque wrench to tighten the wheel nuts, and them ending up as different pressures.

At the end of the day, new discs and pads shouldnt break the bank and are only gonna be a good thing.

EDIT: Just had a look at eurocarparts and they seem to have discounted the pagid discs and pads for the lude. i dont know what the general consensus is on pagid but thats what i used on my mondeo and they have been great for the price.

cheers Bludge il defiantly check that out iv had all the callipers pads, and disks off uses some brake cleaner and made sure everything was moving freely it seams a fraction better but no were near cured.
