try to post this in common issues, but not grown up enough so not enough privileges,
Had a couple of days of -25c temperature and had to take the Freelander into some deep snow to get some hay out of a barn, no problem with the brakes. Temperature rises to a barmy -5 to -9c ish went to drive the lady to a different spot so I could move some snow, felt it grab as I pulled away and suddenly no brakes, stopped (eventually) and looked at disks/ wheels and noticed what looked like a thin skin of disk pad on the disks. Drove it up and down the lane pumping the brake and they cleared, drove to a church I pastor 160 k away this evening no problems. Just wondered if anyone else has had similar problems. Is it lousy disk pads or something else.
