   I have a black 1.1 Saxo 1999 the brakes just don't feel strong or good. They don't feel spongy but when I slam on (kid ran out the other day) it just seems weak and slow. Really don't want unsafe brakes or crap brakes so anything would help cheers. Ohh btw i have enough brake fluid it's not low or leaking.

   Brake hard! Then it will judder, brakes will go on off on off etc to stop skidding, also will feel it on brake peddle.

   Fit a VTR front brake set up. The lower spec stuff is not good at all IMO.
