The weird thing is that the brand new 22-plate Volvo XC40 we got this morning (courtesy car) has brakes that are even worse than the stock S8.
 I drove it back home and thought, there's a bit of long spongy travel on this pedal before it bites. SWMBO then went out (hairdresser!) and when she came back, first time driving it, the first thing she said was - good job I'm driving carefully, the brakes are crap!  I'd be interested to hear what MJ herself thinks, she drove my S8 down to Devon late on Thursday evening, though maybe didn't need to use the brakes much....
