    Not to go on too much but something to bear in mind with brakes is not to be too gentle with them. I know, I know, you can’t do right for doing wrong! ?

    But too light a brake routine can cause the discs and pads to polish up. This can cause brakes to squeal and can, slightly, decrease the braking power Not massively noticeable but can be irritating.

    I’m terrible for this as I’m really light on brakes. When my X1 has its first service, I was asked if the brakes had been replaced from new! They hadn’t!

    I do have to make an effort to brake slightly harder than I normally do to stop any irritating issues.

    But then I’m pretty fussy  I even bed the stereo in. I don’t play too loud at first. But when some bands come on the radio, what are you gonna do?! ??


    @ajn
    Bet you’re sorry you asked now! ??

    ? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?
