Brakes!!!!

[xxspudxx]

My car doing my head in, i have 256 up front, and discs at the back, bled the system and there is no air, and the brakes work, but the pedal is soooo spongey, loads of travel and a really crap feel!!

And also i have a hydraulic handbrake, but its solid, there is no travel in that, and it doesnt work hardly, ive tried a proporstionin vavle but it doesnt make much difference.

Any ideas on what to try next? :D

Are the caliper bleed nipples pointing UP ?

[xxspudxx]

on front or back? and what you class as pointin up?

[Adam]

Front.
Up, as in the holes at the top, and the nipples at the top of the caliper

Youve got air trapped in the lines from the handbrakes master cyclinder back. Thats the issue with the handbrake.

if there was air with the handbrake surely it wouldnt be like pullin on a brick wall?? would be loads of travel??? id of thought

and the bleed nipple is on the top side of the caliper facing sideways?

better to get a pressure bleeder and bleed it that way you can change the fluid at the same time that should do the trick.
