Copy. The brakes are doing my head in
I’ve bled what I reckon is all the air out of the master, pretty much a bottle per corner.
The pedal feel i get is good, not soft, good travel
Thinking it may of been the booster, I’ve done the test where I turn the car off, pump up the pedal till it’s firm then turn car on. Pedal sinks about 5cm
Issue I’m having is the feedback is crap, I’m having to bury the foot to stop and the brakes feel really “wooden
Is this as good as it gets or have I a problem?
Car has been in storage for a while so would it be pads?

Did you remove the master cylinder? Sometimes with these the reaction pad falls off and into the booster, giving you a terrible pedal once the master is re-fitted. |

This might be your problem. I have had this issue with a later UC in the past, same cylinder and style of booster. |
