Hi ,

Just got my 4000 mile service done and I asked them to look at my front brake , which will only work well on setting 1 now, and I am worried if they continue to get worse , I obviously have no setting 0 to put them on!
Well a couple of hundred quid later and all they seem to have done apart from change the oil is mess up my clutch giving me about 5mm biting point

, the brakes are still only working well on setting 1. But I guess the question is , is bleding/sorting out the brakes part of a service or not - I've searched the forums about the front brake but still not really sure whats wrong with them - not sure if I need to change the brake pads or change the fluid etc. - Any help would be great!
