Why you've just bought it?

TVR Power do a bigger front brake kit for a few grand, although why you'd bother I'm not sure as a Tuscan is far from underbraked?

No haynes book of bks i'm afraid but I think there is a Graham chap on here who has compiled a 'bible' so to speak.

The brakes are pretty good though, they are not servo assisted so I guess you need to get used to them, give it a few weeks and then see if you feel the same, but after a few weeks you may feel like you could stop on a 50 pence at 30mph

thanks for all the advise guy

They are servo assisted - try using them without the engine running.

It's well worth swapping the pads if it has the standard compound Ferrodo ones fitted as they feel a bit wooden. DS2500 pads improved mine a lot, with much more bite.

A Ford Ka servo infact and can be seen behind the pedals.

The S has bigger disks what's your's?

I stand corrected then I do remember the brakes took a week or 2 to get used to following owning my previous mass produced vehicle, but nowadays i am confident of stopping real sharp if need be.

I fitted EBC Redstuff ceramic pads and they work really well.
