Question Braking when clutch dipped

Maybe your brake pads are sticking , that's why you don't notice it at speed

Check for a sticking caliper ( or as in my case get a garage to do so). If so you'll find the brake disc of the side that u suspect will be a lot hotter than the other side.
I had this on my previous Outback and now twice ( the past week) on my Hawkeye! Today after 20 mins driving iI couldnt touch my NS disc as it was burning hot .
Getting p***ed off having to take it to the garage Thursday and fighting to get the part replaced free rather than just freed up!
