The brakes are certainly a bit strange....very punchy when braking from high speed (ie: 80 to 40), but lack serious bite from 40 downwards(?!)
We did indeed change the fluid - roughly a year ago - and that sorted the fading out.

Hmm...will keep an eye on the clutch - wasn't too bad on the most recent journey. Non-oem parts did occur to me....hmm! Do we think the standard clutch can take the extra power from a B230ET? I think I might get a new pressure plate before then!!

cheers
