Having now spent 2 months using the M1 to go to work and having to had braked hard on a couple of occasions, I now have brake judder, particularly at 50 mph and above.

Are you sure it's not worn tyres or maybe a wheel weight missing? Might be worth a visual check first? |

When you brake it affects the castor angle of the wheels temporarily, which if you have only lost a tiny weight it can sometimes appear to be brake judder. It's worth just taking a quick look at the wheels and tyres to see if there's anything there that might cause it as it's cheaper than brake discs. That said it does sound like either discs or pads have gone and should probably be replaced. Hopefully they aren't too new and it's the fact they are ready to be done rather than morons on our roads that've caused this? |

The dealer I bought it from replaced rear disks and pads when I bought it about 3 years ago. No idea how long the fronts have been on to be honest.

Just had a quick look, the disks seem good, no lip on one side and only a slight lip on the other.

Given the large amounts of brake dust I regularly remove from my wheels I reckon you've just been unfortunate. Maybe new pads will sort it? |

I still have said judder, and am deciding whether to let garage do it or go diy.
