80/20 is probably about right  :grin:
BTW braided brake hoses are a waste of money, unless you are going on a track..

If its juddering when braking and your disks have recently been glowing hot i would say your disks are warped and will need replacing. Will no doubt need to flush the fluid and put new in. As mentioned its also a good idea to check the condition of the rubber lines at this stage.

it wasnt necessarily when breakin, was all the time really. think thats what made me worry.

Coz im rubbish with all things mechanical on the car what kinda things should i be sayin to the guys at the garage? are there certain things i should ask them to check or change? Dont want to get there, sound dumb and find myself gettin  ripped off

no mate, its def not that coz as i got closer to the garage the break pedal got stiffer and like i said, if i took it out of gear and let it roll it just felt like i was breaking.
