anyone know of any particular problems with the brakes on a 205 Pug? I just bought one (N reg. 205 1.8D) and the garage has held the car back saying they have to fix the brakes. On the test drive the brakes were crap, but in a not used for a while kind of way. I know the car has been standing for a while, and I know on my Volvo brakes are a weak point unless you keep up the cleaning and copperslipping. On the Pug it feels like rust in the way, or maybe really worn disks. Pedal didn't sink like it does when the master cylinder is gone. Garage has said they will put new disks/pads on if needed, and sort out the hand brake. Bloke in charge is a friend of a friend from work where we buy a few vehicles from, so I suspect I will get treated fairly. They won't want me to report back in a negative vein, thats for sure. So , bottom line is - Peugeot 205 brakes, how are they ?
