Have replaced the discs and pads as these needed doing, but still having the same problem. More on one side than the other. Discs can get quite hot as a result. Thinking it could be a sticking calliper issue, but could be something else. Servo seems ok as I've pumped the pedal a few times then switched on the engine and the pedal then drops by 3/4 inch or so. Is there anything else apart from the callipers that could be the problem? The brakes seem fine otherwise. It's like the callipers are not releasing fully. They're not that old, so maybe strip down and check out the internals.....?
