Gents,
My 300tdi has a vibrating brake pedal any ideas? It's been sat idle for 4 weeks. Drives fine and stops etc.

Pads may be seized in calipers or caliper pistons seized slightly they should free off after a few miles. If possible try going forwards and reverse and breaking hard on your driveway to free things up. if they don't free off after a few miles whip pads out give a clean up and apply a little copper grease to back of pads

Hmmm I've done about 10 miles and still no change. I'll have a prod anyway.
