hi all , i changed the discs on my nova put them all back together and then the peddle felt spongy, so big thanks to rich on here he came round and bled the breakes but they still are spongy and the breaking distance is ridiculous!
and ideas as to whats the problem, possible servo problem ?
any help would be appreciated
cheers

servo's never brake lol

i think there is still air in the system or you have a leak somewhere, has your fluid drpped?

check for leaks. lay dry card under any possible leaks and pump the brakes hard. if no drips then presume there is still air in the system further up which is very likely. take it too a garage and pay them to bleed them with tehre machine. will be very cheap and we dont want ya driving with **** brakes.

Servos do break. Check all the connections, Have you bleed the rears too?

Does the pedal go to the floor? If you push and hold the pedal does it go down?

Have you tried going though bleeding them again? use up the fluid i left ya, if you have it sounds like the mastercylinder
