It just doesn't lock up at all until i pour water onto the brake pads and disc and then bobs your uncle it works like a machine! But only for one section of a downhill if i'm lucky which is a problem. It only lasts a couple minutes, sometimes alot less depending on the heat and humidity. Can anyone help me? Thanks <

Somehow I don't think "hydrating" brakes corresponds with any manufacturer's operating instructions. Maybe learn to use the front brake or replace your brakes with some designed for your usage?
