Clio 172 ph1
Now, I've had a fair few cars in my time, and I've had a few with naff brakes, but my 172 confuses me!
Normally, the brakes are spot on - stood it on its nose a few times after driving my other car! - but when it's raining the pedal sometimes goes pracically to the floor before anything happens, had a few brown trouser moments on rainy commutes.
What on earth would cause that?! :S
My last car had multiple leaks in the braking system which meant every few weeks the pedal gradually lost effect until it was on the floor and needed constant bleeding until we found all the leaks!
But this one literally just loses its brilliantness in the wet, and is fine again once it's dry. If I use the brakes alot in the wet they improve too. It's like there's water on the brakes stopping the friction and once they're dry they improve... But I've never had a car do that before! s**t discs? Freak of nature? Can anyone point out the obvious to me?
