Bob - I have had similar on 2 Omegas after descending a long hill (passes in the Lake District).   Don't ignore the rear pads too (they don't have sensors).   They are dead cheap and easy job to do;)

Not when you're mechanically inept like me!

Even my brother managed to change the pads on his FTO - similar set up - They're easy Bob, get them done yourself!

Apart from knowing very little about car mechanics, I don't have the necessary tools or anywhere to work on the car as I live in a flat and my parking bay is underground with little light. TBH, I don't get the time either, but my garage is very good and quite reasonable.

That one coming down from its peak of 1500ft above sea level (Kirkstine Pass??)Ian, just outside Windermear?? :-/ :-/

Yes what a bugger when you are coming down, putting your brakes under great pressure.  At one stage last week I managed to hit my near side mirror of a wall jutting out to avoid traffic coming towards me; fortunately no permanent damage, but I would hate to lose my brakes on that one!

For anyone going to The Lakes; please ensure your brakes are 110%!!
