   i had mot yesterday and today... and got new brake discs and pads fitted.... but when i took the car from the garage... when i try to brake it feels like theres not really much there??
   
   it seems like it takes forever to actually stop the car??
   
   what could this be??

   New discs and pads. need to be bedded in... no good coming out and doing heavy braking. Just wont work lol and you'll warp the discs, brake normal for a week or so depending on how many miles you cover a day. Should get more feeling then
