We then adjusted the servo push rod out and took up a load of pedal travel at the time. The brakes locked out on the front and got average readings on the rear. ANdy took the car away and found that the pedal still kept dropping away so ordered and new master cylinder and servo. He fitted this and still has a lot of pedal travel although I have yet to see the car since it's had a second new master cyliner and servo.

Hmmm..heard about a mod for this: putting a metal bracket from the master cylinder across ot the wing. Stops the master cylinder from moving when the pedal is applied. Not seen any pics of it tho.
