    Bigger servo just makes it easier press the pedal.

    the pedal is very spongy just now so thought this might help improve it. Running 16v front set up with standard rear and braided hoses all round. Also bled it all and changed the fluid so not much else I can change but the pedal feels crap just now

    adjust the linkage to make sure your actually pressing the servo/Ms when you touch the pedal, but dont bind your brakes

    i think my servo is knackerd too.
    CAr was sat for 3/4 months and the brake pedal was a bit weird to start off with when i first drove it.

    Also the brakes stick a bit like they are applying themselves automatically.

    Just been to scrappy and changed the no return valve that sits inline with the vacuum hose and started engine and brakes bound themselves on 80%.

    Took new hose/return valve off and it made a Pshh noise as air rushed into the vacuum unit. I'm guessing i need new vacuum unit? Or what is this adjustable linkage you talk of Stu?

    just behind the brake pedal there is a threaded rod with a 19mm nut on it, slackedn that off and rotate the rod till you get the desired brake response, then nip the nut up
