Hi i own a 1998 s reg clio (like the picture). when i drive the brakes dont feel very sharp and i always feel worried when using them that i wont be able to stop in time. they used to be quite good and really sharp. anyone got any advice? as i dont really know alot about cars i just love to drive them :rofl:

New Brakes

Has The Brake Disc's And Pad's On Your Car Been Changed Yet Since 1998. If Not They Are Proberly Worn Especially If Car Is Used Alot.
Best Thing To Do Is Go To A Car Shop And Buy New Discs And Pads Which Will Cost Round About 30 Quid Altogether For Front And The Get Someone To Fit Them.
Does This Help? :d

find a good trustworthy garage and get them to check them out, you may just need them to be bled (get air out of the system) or, most lightly you'll need new pads, but get it checked out soon, esp as you have noticed a real difference in performance.

This Is Why Personaly I Would Just Go And Buy New Brakes As The Time They Will Charge You To Av A Look And Everything Else It Would Just Be Soo Much Cheaper.
It May Only Be Your Pads But I Paid An Xtra 15 Quid For Discs As Then I New They'd Be Perfect As I Got Quite A Quick Car N Need Brilliant Brakes.
If it your pads or whatever make sure your buy em from a cheap car shop not the place where you will get em done as they will be double the price.
