Car has been going fairly well recently, the fuel sender needs replacing however so fuel judgement at the moment is very much guesswork. Oh well.

Been out for a drive to day and on the way back brakes have started to play up.

Upon pressing the peddle will go to the floor with no consequence, but after the first press there is normal pressure and feel. Can anyone point me towards the source of the problem?

Cheers
Dalton

Master cylinder seals on the way out or rear wheel cylinders leaking allowing air back in.

One small bubble makes for a lot of pedal travel.

Wheel cylinders are new so I think I'll order a seal kit and give that a go,
Thanks for the advice,
