Ever so slightly OT Neil, but do you notice a big difference in the braking between the D2 and D3? I changed my brake fluid on the D2 last month prior to the MOT and expected it to feel a bit sharper, but didn't notice anything. The brakes were obviously okay as the car sailed through the MOT. Maybe I'm not driving fast enough to notice.
Just wondering if doing what North2007 suggests would help, with the braided stainless. Would also look better.
