About a year ago I fitted a complete new brake system to my spit (excluding
calipers,
which were good enough just to recondition). Then bled the system using DOT5
Silicon
fluif. Could not get a firm pedal!!
Spoke to the list, got lots of suggestions, then we had 1 month of rain.
Couldn't work on
the car as it was in the garden!!
Came out after a month and pressed the pedal. Brakes as hard as a rock!! and
hence have
changed nothing since..
Not sure why this happened, but it did!
Not sure wether it helps?
Cheers
