Gents My brakes have started to feel spongy. When bleeding this system are there any special precautions. I guess the fluid need changing as it was last done

Have you had the discs and pads changed in that time? 406 is notorious for fast wear on front D&P's which would contribute to spongy feel.
Longshot Thanks for the suggestion. Car has done 65K since new and still on same set of pads( I don't break very hard or carry heavy loads). Last time I looked a few months ago they were not even half worn but the vented disks were getting down towards the wear limit (2Mil from new figure). I was going to check each wheel for pad or shoe wear after the holiday and bleed the cylinders at the same time. Mike
