Coming home on the dual carriageway the other night, pressed the rear brake lever, and it didnt come straight back up immediately as per usual?

Could this be a sign my brakes need changing?

Maybe more likely that you've got a fluid leak and you've emptied the reservoir. You really should spot that kind of thing though Shocked

Brakes are fine though, there's been no change there, just the speed in which the pedal comes back up? Confused

Could it just be crud in the linkage/spring on the artual lever? Is the brake light affected then as well? Suggest giving a clean through and seeing if it improves. Failing that, it could be the slave cylinder needs a clean.

Crud in the pedal pivot I guess - remove, clean and re-grease.
