All the above sounds familiar. The brakes are good but the pedal feel is pretty poor. | |

i have had this problem and am yet to get it sorted various people mechanics have tried bleeding there is no air in system, I just dont think the corsa cylinder has enough displacement to do the job (get a really firm pedal with no travel) | |

I have had this problem, jus loads of tiny tiny air bubbles in the system. Like others have said tho they always a bit spongy compared to others. If the pistons are bigger then u will need more travel to get the same effect, but as far as i know they should be the same. Some cavaliers take the same brake pads as corsa's u c so the calipers are almost identical.. most of the time its just the caliper mounting bracket that holds it further out so u can have a bigger disc. | |

well it pressureises the system so you can open the valves individually without pumping the brakes and withough having to top up the resevoir. essentially a 1 man method. | |

invest in a pressure bleeding system. they are about £15 from halfords, use the pressure from the spare tyre and a resevoir of brake fluid then undo the nuts individually and let the pressure push the fluid through the system, works pretty well. even a slight bit off air in the system will make the pedal feel spongy. | |

nope i dont have braided hoses i didnt think that would make much difference but now thinkin about it the bigger cylinder in the caliper the more force to brake ?? | |

You have braided hoses? That's the first thing to try fitting. | |
