Hi all

The cerb tried yet again to kill me tonight.

Can't rearly blame her totally as she was embarrassing a RS Turbo at the time

But when it came to stop her she pulled so hard to the left I almost came off the Tarmac
So lifted off the pedal and she corrected herself then brake again and off to the left again
Admittedly at rather high speed this occurs . Is this just another part of the character of these cars
Or is it likely to be something more sinister

Checked the discs today after a good run and right hand disc had blue marks on it overheating. And the left
Was warm but looks normal
It's pulling to right not left I'm over 40 and get confused so yep possibly calipers is not working at all I think

It came back from service on Saturday and I checked the tyre pressures and front were 32 and tears 36

So I dropped front to 24 and rears to 26 as I thought that's the correct pressure am I wrong
