Golf Mk3 1.8 GL Braking problem

[spike47]

Hi

I have just got myself a mk3 Golf to do up and Mod , I took it for a drive and the brakes are crap on it , but I can not see anything that would make them be like that , Pads are ok , disc are smooth and clean , and when I keep my foot on the brake and start it up the servo pulls the pedal down so the servo seems to work ok , is there any other tests I can do to see why these brakes are not very good , they pull up ok if I stand on them if you know what I mean .

cheers
