Hi,
I've got a problem with my brakes. The vehicle is a 90 2.5 n/a Diesel, front disks rear drums.
The pedal goes too far - but only when the engine is running. With the engine off, it is fine and normal.
The brakes come on at the top of the travel on the pedal - but the pedal can go almost to the floor (when the car is stopped - the wheels would lock well before this point.) The pedal feels comparitively light for the amount of slowing down the car is doing, if you know what I mean!
I have changed the master cylinder, one front caliper (it needed doing anyhow), both front brake hoses and both rigid pipes on the front calipers. I have inspected and adjusted the rear drums.
None of the above has had any effect on the problem. It is comprehensively bled and the pedal is not spongy as such.
What is it? Is it possible that the servo is providing too much boost?
Please help! Its driving me mad and bankrupt.
Paul
