'Cheap' Fords? Have you compared prices recently?
For a very long time Ford Uk have used the same brake makers as many
others - including BL.
And BL have produced some cars with about the worst brakes going. Mini.
SD1. Etc.

He really is full of ****, isn't he?
That one he came out with above that - about steam bubbles from water
in the brake line only leading to a soft pedal, is fecking priceless.
I've had pad fade and water/steam fade and I know the difference,
unlike 3/6d, who I suspect has had neither.
It's only by running ****e old cars and experiencing the
trials/tribulations of them you get to learn these things.
