Brake trouble?
Only me 
Got some trouble with the brakes on my car? Basically sometimes they are good (well still crap, but good for their size)
And sometimes their absolutely terrible (like they couldn't stop a pram) 
It can be when their cold, warm, dry or wet? Pads and discs seem fine so any ideas what could be wrong
Cheers guys
PS i've blead all the brakes

Try replacing your brake fluid, as it will absorb moisture overtime.

Right Boy!
1. Check for leaks around the master cylinder, lines and calipers.
2. Check the Brake Fluid as stated, it does go off after a while and is anaerobic (absorbs moisture, like diesel, not a **** star), is it cloudy?
3. Check the nipples are tight (not a **** reference either!).
4. You could go braided hoses but will you get a set for the thrusting Justy?
4. Your is not ABS (I think).

Ry, I know it's only a little Justy but don't do anything stupid when brakes are involved.
