Default Is this my brake servo???? 2wd saff

I've just bought this car but the brake pedal is strange.

The brake pedal seems to have a different resistance every time and it judders down when coming to a halt.

Also the small warning lights on the cars display (near heater controls) doesn't go out after applying the brakes for the first time.


Does this sound like the servo??

Any experince on prices for this part?

Thanks for any help

Stew

It doesn't feel like warped disked.

The ABS light goes out a per usual.

Does this problem not sound Servo related?

Cossies don't have a servo as such!
Your problem deffo sounds ABS related or perhaps there is air in the system?

Its not really a push back feelling but more a pedal drop.

Code a seizing caliper cause any thing like this?

Otherwise its sounds ABS related from what you guys are saying.

you probably have a faulty ABS sensor, which will cause hard pedal and juggering at low speeds to stop.


i cleaned both my fronts, and job done all sorted
