Scoboblio Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 not good news then. I'm hardly the most techi person about, but when I had this problem on my old car it turned out to be the brake cylinder seal had turned inside out, hence letting a bit of air in each time.... does it get firmer when you pump it? (ooh-er!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 no it does not get any firmerrrrrrr mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieC Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Laz had the same, did you bleed with the engine off, if so you will need to run the engine pump the brakes and then top up again before taking it out..... Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
