We coughed up the money and went on holiday. Not worth the worry in the end, was my partner's view. It's only money right? Brakes failing could be worse. Plus it's not been an expensive car to keep on the road despite being VAG motor (SEAT).
The brakes were sponge to say the least but do stop the car. Handbrake is noisy and it has little tolerance between slipping and biting on a hill. The garage ended up replacing one of the new calipers because he wasn't happy with it on the handbrake. That slightly worries me but it works OK so no problem I think.
We've almost decided on replacing it anyway son. Just need to sort out what we want now. Van, small van/car, mpv/estate car or smaller, economical car that can still tow trailer / caravan or a campervan?
