cant be 100% cert but im sure it moves down a bit, but i put that down to the servo not runnin at the time of pressing it, just like ne car wen you pump the brake with the engine off

last time i had a similar problem to this it was caused by the calipers not returning properly, good strip down and clean up cured the prob

Has it drums on the rear? If so they probably need adjusting. Try braking with the handrake pulled up a bit and see if it affects the pedal if so adjust the rears!

Just put it down to it being a shit box rover and allow for it when braking then lol

SPADGE,
i knew that kinda comment would eventually surface..
will give it a go braking with the handbrake slightly up, or could take full advantage of those "free brake tests" at the garage, let em diagnose it and then do it maself..
Will see how it goes and update you all..
dave cos4x4,
oi.. remember who's gettin you a £650 rrp handset foc
