Have you checked to see if the calipers are sticking?

Haven't but had rear pads done 4weeks ago an nothing mentioned there. My guess is they are fine as the car brakes well overall. How is the car adjusted for pressure front to rear ? Ragards Mark.

Mark:
The Front brakes should do aprox 60% of the stopping and the rear 40%. The fronts always wear out first. That is what is making me think you have a stuck calipers or a bad rubber brake hose that has collapsed inside and will not allow the fluid to return properly when the brakes are released.
