Cheers. They've been like that for a while, and the brakes were pointed out as a possible concern when I got my MOT done last october, so I don't think the heat excuse is going to fly! Got fluid done last week too

On a slightly related note, my brakes squeek when I brake. This just means I need the pads changing yes?

More than likely caused by dust,This good downpour of rain should it out.

Often squeaking brakes is caused by air passing between the pads and caliper housing. This is due to dry weather as leefer says or long service schedules/high mileage. I have a new car that has always done it and a mate has exactly the same car, same age that has always done it, nothing wrong just annoying.

If it is your break pads get them done ASAP else you'll have to replace the discs too
