Hi everyone,
I've been experiencing pretty bad brake performance recently, at first I thought the pads/discs had worn down but after whacking a wheel off, there is plenty of meat left on the pads and the discs seem to be fine too.
What hadn't occured to me was to check the brake fluid level. It sits right above the minimum line on the filler. The brakes feel quite "spongy" at the moment and the pedal needs to be pushed quite far to get a good braking force, can this be solved by adding brake fluid or has something else gone wrong else where?
