Now, bear in mind my 90 has just passed its MOT. I have also, during normal driving, had no issue with the brakes which have worked fine.
However, the other day, I had to emergency brake to avoid the car in front. And I very nearly didnt make it
. A second similar incident a few days later prompts this question.
It was a heart stopping moment as i hit the brakes hard, and nothing much happened quickly. I stopped but all too spongey and slowly, with no real bite.
Now I`m comparing the my brakes to my wifes Cooper S and my previous sports cars brakes and ability to brake real crisply, which may not be fair.
The question is, how do I improve the braking system on my 300 tdi ?
Is a Disco rear axle with discs I presume the only way forward or are there other mods people can suggest. (I am already putting more distance between me and the car in front as a result of these incidents).
Beat ya to it.
