AP Service

They only need doing when they look Fu**ed or don't work

I'd service if I was getting uneven pad wear or binding.

From what I have deduced with the APs, regular use seems to keep the seals working and lubricated and regular fluid change keeps the nipples working and prevents them from rusting up. Garaging also probably helps and not being at the salty seaside also.

How do you know they are operating properly, you may stop, but they may not be right

Yep agreed, but how many check the inside pads?

I have had loads of brake fluid changes in the last 2 years, that sides fine, you should really bleed after every track day to get new fluid in.

I think it's more to do with lack of use, it is garaged but I'm not sure that helps, if it goes out and gets wet, then put back inside then I think this is where they start to lock up and the pad retainers get corroded behind the strip, Ive been told this just happens and there's not much that can be done unless they are used, weekly at least, it may all be bollocks but that's what Ive been told by the mechanics
