V6 brakes on a 1.4
. Nice. And it could be a problem with the electronics that control the brakes - its got a self learning cpuy that controls the brakes (well mine has anyway according to the brochure i got
lol) so give it time and it should adjust itself to prevent wheel lockups. I got my brakes serviced the other day and then went skidding everywhere as the cpu hadnt adjusted the brake balance correctly.
