Default Brakes

On my 98' S70, I have just come round to change the back brake pads at 70k miles (changed the front at 60k miles).

Now I have never been impressed by the brakes on the car and at last I have found out why.

When they came to change the pads, they found that the build up of brake dust had set solid and the rear pads were not reaching the discs on one side. A quick clean later and away you go.

Now the brakes feel amazing (and the car now stays level and doesn't dip) and thinking back, I have a nasty feeling that they have been in this state for a long time.

So for all those out there who are not eating brake pads every 10k miles, who think things are not as good as they could be, it might be worth a look
