Braking

[John McC]

Hi all trust your all keeping cool some how.Any way is anyone on here having braking problems in this heat. What I seem to be getting is reduced braking power when its very hot. The pedal goes down like normal and hardens up, but just does not seem to be the same amount of braking. It some times hits a spot and then goes hard and then jolts a bit more as if something is sticking then releasing, any Ideas please cheers John
