I think you may be right.
Had a chat with the Missus today and she's not happy with the way her new C3 handles.
It's looking like I'm going to tidy this up to sell and use the money to get a new set of wheels, some uprates shocks and lowering springs for the Citreon.
I made a bit of a cock up with the master cylinder.
There is a rubber O ring that sits between the servo and the master cylinder that I forgot to refit and had a massive vacuum leak.
Had to syphon out the brake fluid. Remove the master cylinder and reinstall with the new O ring.
And back together and running sweet again!
Unfortunately there is still the matter of the snapped bleed nipple.
Removed the wheel cylinder to try and extract the broken bleed nipple but it was too tight.
So plan is to get a new wheel cylinder and finish the brakes off.
I have new drop links and a HCV to fit, I'm going to tidy up the paintwork around the filler and the boot lid and sell it on.
Once I get my pay rise in September I'll try look for something more apt.
