new servo and master cylinder. Pads and discs haven't been touched, but the pipes were replaced at the front only.
Initially the pedal had way too much travel and bottomed out on the floor, so I adjusted the push rod in the servo as the nut was hard up against the bulb on the end. Once done, all was good.
Drove several miles testing the brakes, no issues.
Straight road, not on the brakes at all, I lost power- brakes were on hard- could hardly move the car once stopped. Adjusted the push rod back a bit towards the bulb on the end, all was good.
About 15 miles of testing the brakes, all was good.
Then again, straight road, brakes came on. Stopped, repeated above process, all good.
50 miles later, straight road, guess what! Same again!
the nut on the push rod is almost back to where it started, probably 2 threads away from being hard up to the end bulb!
So, what is going on? Do these items take time to "bed in"? Could it be pointing to a different issue?
I get a really firm brake pedal and don't feel spongy at all. Once adjusted, the pedal does go in further before the brakes activate (as expected), but a few miles down the road I end up with quite a firm pedal that doesn't need moved much at all!
