New Brakes and pads currently in the boot of the car.
managed to get a full set from my local auto factors for £75 (suzuki wanted £180 for the disks ands £85 for the pads)
plan is to fit them this evening, bleed the brakes too.
Fingers crossed this stops the wobble we are experiencing ... last night it was terrible, and the harder I braked, the worse it was. driving though, any speed, was fine...

sorry for the Zombie bump; what's the story with red grease? I've been using copper grease for years with no ill effects. Martin's links are dead.

I will sort the links. Oil based grease attacks the rubber, its a real issue

Ah okay. I've some Krytox grease knocking around; I'll use that instead.
