I've read this several times over, trying to narrow this down.

It sounds at this point like either of two things are happening here:
1) Rear brakes are not functioning, or
2) the new pads are too hard.


How well does the parking brake (handbrake) work? Will it easily hold the
car on an incline, or do you really have to haul hard on the lever to get
the car to stay?

If you bring the car up to speed, then use the handbrake ONLY to brake,
does the car skew to one side or does it go straight? (Hold the handbrake
button in with your thumb while you do this, and make sure there's nobody
close behind.)

When's your next MoT?
