if i apply a fair bit pressure to the brakes the car starts to shake, do i need new pads? It is a 1.6 si cheers

Does your car have ABS?

If so the brake pedal will shake about a bit when the system kicks in.

Otherwise what you are most likely feeling it a warped disc at the front. Change both the discs and the pads. Should only cost £40-50 or so from your local motorfactors for the lot.

na it is the car itself that shakes m8, ok new brakes it is lol

Does it grow from a bit of a judder and pulsing through the pedal to harsh shaking, or is it an "on/off" type of thing? If it's the latter, you must be into your ABS. If it's the former, new discs are the most likely cause.

[Mrtitty]

more like the first, kinda like the judder before the car stalls, and it keeps goin till you ease off the break

Let a mechanic take it out for a drive, see what they think.
