The lines can't expand and the fluid is nigh on impossible to boil, over engineering for my use but can count on one hand the amount of brown pant soft pedal moments on one hand.

Well there's an advert for this haha.
So, a laborious task it was but, I've unclogged every venting hole in the discs. There was a LOT of build up. The faces are quite raised in places with lots of baked-deposits and rust. Hoping it's that and not warping. Will thoroughly clean all discs tomorrow.
On a side note and both boggling and concerning...no balancing weights on my front wheels. Yup. Very old backing tape (one on outside, one on inside of each wheel respectively) but no weights.
So, I'm pretty sure they were there when I last cleaned the car but maybe it's just my imagination. The car was in for alignment a month ago and I had the rears re-balanced. The new weights are all still there.
In the spirit of "there's no such thing as a stupid question...", does anybody else have no balancing weights on the front? I can honestly say the car improved after alignment and re-balanced rears a month ago. Turn in is better, zero shake at high speeds etc. The car still feels great on turn in and no wobble at high speeds.
I guess it begs the question, have I had them? Just not one of them things you purposefully look for on a regular basis. The issue is 100% the brakes as it only happens when I brake and I think it's unlikely that balancing weights fell off at the same time I started having the brake judder. Queer one...
