Nice to hear that you sorted it out.
A tip from a good mechanic I once heard:
From time to time (let`s say once a month) while standing still step on the brake pedal as hard as you can until it goes all the way down, do this three times. And use a lot of force, don`t worry about destroying anything.
What this does is makes the hydraulics work all the way and increases the life of brake cylinders, while it also makes for smoother brake discs and improves brake life.
I had some rust on the rear discs and after doing this it is all gone and smooth as ice. Doing this not only prevents corrosion buildup and improves disc and pad life, but also maintains the shortest emergency braking distance.
