After speaking to my sprayer the other day, he said that the brake pedal went straight down to the floor with no pressure behind it, when he was moving the car about the other day. now i have changed all of the disc's and pads a while back, and on the drive down the breaks did start to feel a little spongy and were basicly crap by the time i got to the spray shop,

 

my question is has the fluid level dropped to a point where it needs topping up?

 

do i need to bleed the brakes?

 

or has the brake booster gone?

 

i haven't got the car with me or anywhere near me so i cant really check, but the brakes being ok on the start of the journey and then being crap leads me to believe that i may (fingers crossed) just need to top up the fluid as it may have now settled after the pad and disc change.

 

all answers on the back of a post card to the normal address ;)

You might not need to do anything - it could be lack of use - try pumping them and make sure that you put your foot under the brake pedal to lift it to it's full height before depressing it again.

 

I seem to recall a similar problem on a Z i had sitting around for a while...

 

Good luck

Nice idea but had a 2 hour trip and down the M11 to drop it off so would have got used during the town country driving, before hitting the M11, thanks for the suggestion though.
