well could need bleading then jus open your bleed nipples front n rear 1 by 1 and let it gravety bleed out and watch for air (dont let the master cylinder go empty tho) :thumbs: Jim | |

The handbrake is really tight, only pulls up an inch, the front pads are definitely new, i can see how thick they are, pedal not really spongey just far down, as for pipes, just been mot'd so wouldn't they have checked out the pipes? | |

You have to adjust the adjuster fork inside the drums. If they done the rear shoes did they adjust the handbrake cable too? | |

If its a spongy peddel its air in the system but if the peddle is jus low n you got a lot of clicks on your handbrake adjust it up in the drums that will bring the peddle up :thumbs: | |

Try bleeding them and if they pedal still feels a bit loose check the hoses to make sure they are in decent condition. I thought if there was air in the pipes the brake pedal would feel spongy? | |

My corsa has just had new brake pads put on front and back, done before i bought the car but i can see they are new, however the pedal is quite near the floor, does it need bleeding or summat? The brake fluid reservoir is full to the brim? |
