Thank you.

Been driving really steady hardly using the brakes, thought that was the best thing to do.

But will try the above today.

Cheers

Don't baby them too much as this can be detrimental to pads, they need to get sufficiently hot to allow them to bed-in properly. And far be it for me to contradict Tony, but I was always taught never to come to a complete stop when bedding in pads. 60(ish)-10mph is my normal routine. The cooling state inbetween is pretty crucial so make sure you get up to a reasonable speed without having to brake too much in between each set of 10 applications make sure you give your self some room as your braking distance will be longer than normal with new pads.

Sorry, yes - I should have put "keep it rolling", it does imply a complete stop, I didn't mean that.

Early mornings...

No worries... I know the feeling! Nothing annoys me more (ok apart from people driving with fog lights on) than people that ride their brakes or sit at the lights with their foot on the pedal and more than likely, still in gear. I had someone stall and lurch into the back of me only the other day. I've only just had the back-end rebuilt after a numpty motorcyclist ran out of the little talent he had in the first place!
