Bet you that's a bit ropey, bushes wise. I was in a skoda Octavia taxi in Tenerife that felt like a railway car. I was very scared indeed. :)

Whoa that's mad, you must not do much sporting. :)I may be telling you how to suck eggs but pull the sliders out and clean them down and apply fresh grease. The amount of brakes I've worked at and the sliders have never been looked is quite astonishing.

Brakes are for braking... remember they are cheaper to replace than gearbox, engine braking should be used as a support.
