Thank you everyone for your replies. Just to add a bit of additional context. The 1000km return journey would be with a car fully laden with camping equipment. Before the light came on I had noticed that braking had started to feel juddery. Also the front brake pads and discs had been replaced 8 months ago. Does the above make any difference to your opinion?

Hi, Whilst driving in France my Superb’s break pad amber warning light came on. I was nearly at my destination, so completed my journey and called my UK breakdown provider. They passed me to their European department and a recovery vehicle was sent. The recovery person looked at the light. Did not inspect the brakes. Then told me the car would be safe for the remainder of my holiday and the journey home -at least 1000km. He left. I called the phoneline and they got him to come back and take the car for repair. I’m waiting to hear back about the diagnosis and cost. Is there any law breaking or professional malpractice involved in his initial advice that the car was safe to drive?

Hi, I’m a new member of the forum, But I’ve had my Skoda Superb estate since 2019 and like it a lot. Especially the massive boot. Only regret with it is not getting the upgraded sound system- but that does mean there’s more room for camping equipment. Martin
