This may seem a silly question but what stops the pads / pistons in the calipers retracting back to far??

Was just wondering as the first pedal stroke still seems longer than the second, (even after c.j's bleed tis morn. which has improved it).
So i was thinking is this because im taking the slack up so to speak on the first push and then the second then feels normal?

Has any body on here got a classic with standard 4 pots that i can come and feel to get a comparison to mine!

Really getting ticked off now that i cant get a satisfying feel even with martyns and c.j's wicked help and efforts! :-(

Mate I think you've got to go and get your master cylinder sorted.

Sorry to hear its not sorted.:|














ps. you missed a nice meet.

Think it's going to be more air & thought via text it's loads better ?

Well i have just looked at my M.O.T certificate and it runs out on wednesday and the tax at the end of the month! :x

So its gonna get the lot ripped off and bits changed (or thrown in the bin) untill i get to the bottom of it. i cant believe that i cant get a solid pedal when pumping with the engine off!?????

Sorry i missed the meet guys but im not really in the mood to show off my pride and joy till shes working and running propely.

I am 100% positive I had bled every bit of air out.
Is it possible air is getting back into the system , does the pedal feel sh ite again ?

It doesn't feel as bad but still not as hard as it should be!

Basically i should expect the pedal to feel the SAME with every push!!!!!!!!!! not soft then hard then soft again as i approach a round about at warp speed. :angst:

Orderd a servo and cylinder complete off ebay from a my00 jap import.
Second hand but looks double clean. I just couldn't stump up to getting a brand new one C.J after your wise words. :getmecoat:

Its the thought of changing something expensive that may make no difference.

only really two things can give you a soft pedal that firms on the second push..........

first is air getting past a seal in the m/cylinder or second you are suffering pad knock off (however this would normally only occur with the vehicle in motion as a reult of a duff wheel bearing, etc.)

Good point, I remember I had soft pedal on 1st push and it was passenger wheel bearing, in fact the castle nut was nearly 2 whole turns loose .

Very interesting and its something i shall look at for sure. :ok:

I will say that one thing i did notice today when i was reversing off the drive was that when i braked sharply i got a little clonk from the front pads hitting the disc's as you would expect due to them having a slight bit of movement and them finding there new seat position in the carriers, but i did this sharp tap on the brakes several times and got the same noise each time i did it.
weird i thought as you normally get the small clonk noise once each way then the pads settle??:-?

Thanks for the thoughts guys really appreciate it and ill post up my findings during early next week. Work tomorrow:doubledown:
