Hi,
I'm having problems with the brakes on my 2.5 V6. When you brake from any
kind of speed (say over 60), the initial braking force is good but within
about a second you need to increase the brake pedal force by a huge amount.
It is as if the servo is not working. I have new discs and pads fitted. I
have also checked starting the car while the brake pedal is depressed and
the travel increases(which usually indicates that the servo is ok).
Has anyone else had this problem.
Regards
Nick

Sounds like your pads arent up to the job and fading ... they have  put the
right type in?

Esy enough to check.  Repeat the maneover.  If it's pad fade, the subsequent
braking will be less strong *immediately* IYSWIM.

FWIW I'd reckon there is some kind of leak
