+1 for this info given.Guran wrote:I agree with jules. Flush the brake fluid and change the pads. For your usage, nothing fancy is required for either. I don't expect you will be disappointed with Castrol Response Super and OEM pads. You should be changing the brake fluid at least every two years regardless of use - six monthly is ideal. DIY is easy and cost is about $20 each time (two bottles fluid).
I use Motal RBF600 which is $35 a bottle for 250ml. It lasts a year and I semi bleed the brakes every 3 months, due to using the car on the track also. 2 people and 30 minutes is all it takes to completely flush all 4 of your brakes. I get my missus to pump the brake pedal for me while i bleed the brakes.
If anyone has brake fade as bad as the OP said they had, I would not be waiting to do the brakes at the next service. Knowing that they will potentially fail between now and then, could you live with a future smash repair bill, or even causing death?
