Hi there,

Sound like one of your brake pads needs replacing.

The shuddering is an indication that the pad is on it's way out.

Best to get it changed as soon as poss, especially at this time of year.

Your discs are wrong

It could well be a warped or damaged brake disk that is causing the shudder. It would be worth getting the brakes checked to ensure that they are safe, especially at this time of the year.

thats what i was going to say,watch incase a brake shim hasnt come loose,or our pads hasnt come loose,its a scary thought but 1 time you could press the brakes and the pedal will go to the floor,id get it checked out asap

Hi,this happened to us until one day we had no brakes the pedal went straight to the floor oh scary feeling for me.Then it happened to hubby and realised i wasnt exagerating so he changed the discs and pads and it never happened again.
