Put new brake pads/shoes all round & fresh brake fluid & bled correctly.

Replaced the servo pipe that connects from the brake servo to the vacuum pump as it was leaking due to a split pipe.

However I don't understand why the brake pedal is still spongy when applied during driving & I get the impression there are no brakes ?

The pedal travels quite near to the floor, any further & it would touch.

Having driven the same reg car (M) there is a vast difference in the feel of the brake pedals on both cars, that is as soon as you touch the pedal the brakes are apparent, but on mine the symptoms are above.

Basically having done all that work I would expect the brake pedal to be as tight as you would find in a new car or there abouts.

The only thing I can think of that may be causing the problem is the servo unit
itself ??

Or possibly the vacuum pump ??

Or the master cylinder ??

What is the purpose of both units - brake servo & vacuum pump & master
cylinder ??

If anyone can shed any light on the thread thats great.
