The car went through it's annual test only last month and passed with no advisories. The brake efficiency was 70% iirc and after checking the old test results the figure was never more thn 78% so there was no faults in the system but the pedal just didn't feel "right" .
The pedal never actually went to the floor it just moved further than I was comfortable with although you could feel the brakes being applied as soon as the pedal was pressed and as I said it continued to go down until the hoses reached thir limit of expansion, which wouldn't have to be much to displace the amount of fluid in that percentage of MC travel ..
It was just one of those things that annoyed you and you knew that it could / should be better .
Anyway , one to remember ,and thanks again for all input.
