MK6 Fiesta - Weak Brakes ?

[_Nathan_]

Hi,

I have a 2005 Fiesta 1.25 with seemingly weak breaks. Assuming the pads were worn I took the wheels off to inspect and there still seems to be some meat on them.

The discs are fine with no scoring or lip although the vents in the middle are corroded.

Any ideas or is it in the nature of the car ?

Regards

Does that model have drums on the rear? If it does then they were like wood from the factory(at least the brand new loan car I had yonks ago was!). Not sure what upgrade options are about. On a side note, what is it with modern Ford's and st feeling brakes??!! My Mk1 Mondeo's brakes feel better than my 220's (even if they don't stop as well?? Haven't a clue...........)

Yep drums on the rear.

Maybe worth changing the fluid and bleeding??
