Ok so it's not my 300 it's the wifes Mazda 323 but i changed the pads for new ones bled all the cylinders from furthest to nearest the resevoir...now the brakes don't feel as sharpe even though i've bled them...twice now there's also more travel on the pedal.

 

Can it be adjusted like a clutch can be adjusted for the biting point?

 

Thanks

sounds like an airlock to me, you sure you bled them correctly?

Absolutely did it twice although the back bleed screws look a bit old, will change them w/e then see...

 

Can you adjust the brake pedal so it bites earlier????

 

Can't think if you can on the 300 either?????

no, the brake pedal is not adjustable for its the 'bite point' as a clutch is.

Just looked at the Mazda and the bit point is ajustable, similar to the cluctch on the 300 brakes seem fine now thanks for he help

i'm not much of a mechanic myself but i'd recommend:

the 323f owners club website. It's a small club but very helpful.

 

Maybe i'm biased as I used to have a 323f GTi, great cars :cool:

are the brake disc's worn, cos if they are and if they are below the minimun thickness or have a lip/ridges on them it will cause spongyness of pedal until pads wear to shape of disc, if you have adjusted the brake pedal make sure the wheels are not binding slightly, or you'll cook the pads
