I'vve owned my 55 plate 2.0 HDi Berlingo for about 3 months now and in that time I've never really been satisfied with the braking power on offer. There's not much feel in the system and when needing to stop quickly it's aways a bit heart in mouth as to whether it will stop in the required distance. Even really stamping on the brake dpesn't make any perceptible difference to the rate of retardation abd they always feel 'wooden' inoperation.
Rear shoes were replaced a few weeks ago and the mechanic reported that the front discs wpold need replacement in a few months, as would the pads, but that the setup was serviceable for now. I was also wondering whether the servo or vacuum pump might be faulty.
Am I being too picky, and are the brakes 'all like that sir'? I don't have any prior experience with Berlingos... Any obvious things to check out?
