Any ideas anyone?

Have you checked the level of brake fluid in the container?

Just checked it and ye was pretty low, so getting some new fluid 2moro. Cheers for the heads up!

Also found i've almost run out of pads, lol, so need to do that too.

Any suggestions on good pads that are relatively cheap?

Cheers

try A-Z motors on eBay really fast delivery and good quality product, i brought a set of mintex Xtreme pads from them last week for £40 + £7 p&p. but they do standard ones to at cheaper, look them up

Probably you don,t need to fill up the Brakefluidcontainer when put the new brakepads in at the sametime .Take a look at the rear brakes olso

I'm driving Brembo discs and Mintex pads, regular ones (no extreme, no bigger discs no nothing).

Couple of days ago i did a 180-110km/t brakedown, it was insane, it was just like slamming the brakes at 60-0km/t !

No fading, no problems AT ALL - they just bit the discs and braked the car!

And i haven't got them to fade yet, even though i tried...

Thanks for the heads up on the brake fluid, filled it up and all seems better!

Was thinking slightly cheaper than that for pads, i've actually found EBC pads (standard replacement, not uprated pads) for £20 this seems really good value! So think I mite go for them.. anyone else ever tried them?

Also I was wondering if anyone knew where is the best place to get water pump/power steering drivebelts from in the UK, mine are looking a bit cracked?

Cheers all

I would buy it original, i think i paid 200danish kroners equals to about 18-19 british pounds for the power steering drivebelt. I'm not sure, but it was affordable ;)

Don't you british guys have some Toyota-shop where to get some rebate on your stuff? E.g. i get 25% cheaper parts here in Denmark compared to the original prices...
