I'm used to "classic cars" and had an RN saloon last year and the brakes on it were surprisingly good, so I'm probably comparing this car with a very good example. I've been struggling to get a decent balance between from and back - rolling back down my drive into the garage with reasonable pressure on the brakes the back wheels are locking up quickly and the front wheels still turning. In the garage, up on stands the front wheels will lock, but obviously not as well as the backs. I've tried the clamp on type cable tensioners on the front as a temporary measure, but I don't like them so I think I'll try and slacken everything off again tomorrow and start from scratch.
The way the front cables are adjusted at the minute makes the wheels brake when the steering is on lock so I don't think I can tighten them further, so maybe just release the back brakes a bit and have more pedal travel, but more even braking?
I've checked the linings and cams etc and all seem to be operating properly.
