Brakes

[Petrolhead]

One of the things I loved about my V8V was the pedal feel. The pedal travel was minimal and the brakes strong, however I have recently noticed that the pedal travels a little bit more than when I bought the car. The brakes are just as strong it’s just the travel is more and they feel slightly better after a second press.

Could this just be me getting used to them or could there be a problem?

How old is the car?
Brake fluid maybe getting old!

I had also wondered. Its a 2007 car

I'd say that's probably due a change

What spec fluid do they use?

[brakedwell]

I'm sure it is the same as the DB9, which is Castrol Super Response Dot 4.

What does your Manual say Peter ?

My 09 DB9 recommends Castrol Super Response Dot 4 for Brake / Clutch fluid.

But remember my V12 engine oil is different to yours so best check first
