He was probably playing it safe saying that in anticipation of being told yours was standard.

I think it was the fluid I cooked, so ducts wont do much.

What else can you do, apart from not braking too much for too much time? :confused:

I thought the oil would boil from the heat of the friction between discs and pads. Cooling the discs should help the pads and calipers not getting so hot, no? :confused:

True... I think I will start with fluid and take it from there.

Yeah I blocked my PMs. What's the matter. If it's to do with the fours then you will need to speak with Alex

I'm pretty sure mine needs cleaned out, but I just can't find the time, and I know that if I put it in to a garage to get down, it's a cert it'll not get done correctly/fully
