I can feel the judder (and see it) through the steeing wheel and feel it on the pedal.

I'm usually a very gentle braker, but I have tried a few heavy foot sessions on the business park where I work, and it brings the car to a rapid halt no bother. However, on a couple of occasions there was a short skid and I didn't feel the ABS kick in. Relevant? The judder is worst, I think, from/at speeds of around 30mph and when the brakes are hot.

One thing I'm wondering is that they might not have replaced the tension spring. I'll have a look at the weekend. Would that cause these symptoms?
