Alfa SPider Brakes Query

[Melv]

My wife's new Alfa Spider has just come back from £1500 of warranty work (it's done 1700miles.......)

Everything sorted, except she complained that the brakes are not upto her previous Spider. Garage says they are OK!!

If anything, her old car was OVER servoed!! Just a thought -could 1000 miles of running-in in stop start traffic with no heavy applications have glazed them?

I took it out last night and stamped on them a few times to trip the ABS, got them really hot, seemed to improve slightly, but she says same this morning.

Any suggestions? And selling the car is not an option......yet!!

Tks for your feedback.

Car is JTS. AFAIK, previous one was standard.

She hasn't had top down yet (I have!!) as she only bought it November.

Thanx for all the feedback.

Having had a chance to do a few miles myself, I find the brakes generally good when stamped on when hot, with more feel than the previous cars over-servoed system, but poor when cold or just used 'lightly'.

So, in essence, can't really fault them!!
