if you get oil on your breakpads does heating them up help? I got all sorts of grease on mine. At the time we had a gas hob in the kitchen but i guess a bbq would do the trick too. I put the pads over the gas and got them good and hot. They worked well the next day.
Im not an expert but it seemed to work for me.

Lol. In economics I have been learning about the consumer guarantee act:
btw this has been copied off here
Services must be provided with reasonable care and skill
This generally means that any work done for you must be at least as good as the work of a competent person with average skills and experience in the type of work required.
Services must fit for the purpose
After you have told the service provider what service you want from them, and they accept the job, they must make sure you get what you want.
eg, if you let the hairdresser know that you want your hair dyed a particular colour and they agree to do it, they must give you hair of that colour.
However, there may be situations where it would not be appropriate to rely on discussions with a supplier
eg, it may not be reasonable to expect a receptionist in a large service company to know enough about the services to be able to say the service will do what you want.
You may not be able to rely on this guarantee or the guarantee of reasonable care and skill if you insist on a service which the service provider informs you will not be fit for your purpose.
eg, you ask the drycleaner to try to remove an old stain from a jacket. The cleaner tells you that the stain can not come out without taking colour out of the jacket. You insist on the work being carried out.
The dry-cleaner must take reasonable care and skill but may not be responsible if the jacket colour is changed, as you had been told this could happen. If the dry-cleaner causes another problem such as the buttons melting, the cleaner may be held responsible for that problem.
Services must be provided within a reasonable time
Where you and the service provider have not agreed on a time when the job must be finished, the service provider must complete the job within a reasonable time. "Reasonable" time will be judged on the time it takes a competent person who works in that type of job to complete the task.
Reasonable price
If a price for the work has not been discussed with the service provider, you do not have to pay a price which is unreasonable in the circumstances.
eg, you hire a plumber to repair a leaking tap. The price was not discussed because you were in a hurry. You have had plumbing work done before so you were expecting the bill to be approximately $45. You are very surprised when a bill arrives for $120. You find out that plumbers normally charge $55 for this type of job so you only have to pay $55.
Rights and remedies
If you receive a service that fails to meet one of these guarantees for services you have the following rights:
Right to repair
You can ask the person who did the job to fix it at no cost to you.
If they refuse or take more than a reasonable time to fix it you can:
get someone else to fix it and claim the cost from the supplier, or
cancel the contract for service and refuse to pay for the work done. If you have already paid the service provider you may be able to get some or all of your money back. The amount you can ask for will depend on whether some of the service provided was satisfactory.
Right to cancel for serious problems
You can cancel the contract for the service and refuse to pay for the work done or pay less than the agreed price. If you have already paid you may be able to get some or all of your money back.
Have the price reduced to make up for the drop in value of the service - this may mean asking for some of your money back if you have already paid.
Consequential loss
If the work has caused damage to other property, you can claim compensation for that damage (this is called consequential loss).
Failure outside service provider's control
A service provider will not be responsible if a guarantee has been breached as a result of an event outside of his or her control.[/url]
