Hi all. New here so hope this is in the right place. I've just bought a Renault trafic 2.0dci 2012. The brakes aren't much good on it at all. The brake pedal travel is a lot before anything happens, and when it does start to brake it's poor. Almost as if the pedal has been adjusted to sit a...

Hey, another quickie. The wife's modus, I drive a Mondeo. Were using her car more so now (mad not to at 65mpg) and I cant help feeling the pedal goes a long way. Doesn't pump up, new shoes in the rear on good drums, no leaks. When you do get to the brake pedal it is firm and feels good. Its...
