Brakes are fine. 6 3x2 slabs & 4 bags cement might have had something to do with it. I just had to press the pedal a lot harder than when car empty. She didn’t roll much in the corners though

What year is it? The pre 2000 cars had terrible brakes even on a good day but post 2000 should be OK even fully laden.Brakes are fine. 6 3x2 slabs & 4 bags cement might have had something to do with it.

It doesn't matter Ali, as RA has a FL2, which has much better brakes than the FL1.What year is it? The pre 2000 cars had terrible brakes even on a good day but post 2000 should be OK even fully laden.
Or was it 2001? I forget.
For not pressing the brake pedal hard enough, with the vehicle more heavily loaded than normal.Ok, I'm curious, WHY does the fault lie with you, what did you do wrong?
I've had really bad experiences with Delphi brake pads whereby the pedal felt as though even if you pressed the pedal hard enough to rip the master cylinder off the bulkhead you'd still have braking distances comparable to those of an aircraft carrier. I wonder what pads @Rank Amatuer is using? Could they have a factor in this?For not pressing the brake pedal hard enough, with the vehicle more heavily loaded than normal.
I've not had an issue with Delphi pads myself, and I'd normally fit them.I've had really bad experiences with Delphi brake pads whereby the pedal felt as though even if you pressed the pedal hard enough to rip the master cylinder off the bulkhead you'd still have braking distances comparable to those of an aircraft carrier.
