Carolien -
1) Check the adjustment on the drum brakes again. (You are adjusting
them with the handbrake OFF, right?)
2) Look for play in the brake-pedal-to-master-cylinder linkage,
especially the clevis pin. After a while the pin and the holes it goes
through can wear egg-shaped, reducing the effective travel.
3) When in doubt, bleed the system again.
