So is mine TBH. Cant see how air would affect the distance travelled in this way - surely it would be the same all the time. Nor can I see it being the servo - if that failed surely the brakes would be harder not softer. And if it was a balance valve issue would the car stop straight as it does?


I'd still clamp off the system first, if in doing so there is no real difference then I agree it's probably the m/cyl. If the pedal goes hard then you know where to look and you haven't wasted time and money on a new cyl. A Yorkshireman ought to appreciate that.
