Today I used a vacuum bleed kit to try and suck some air out the lines. As having trouble with a spongy pedal. Pedal is firm when cold and once warm it does goes soft. Definitely shouldn't be brake fade with the xp8's and plus if I pump the pedal, it does go firm again.
Typically it starts to rain as soon as I take wheel off. Needed a shower anyway lol

so didn't really take any more pics because it was like trying to use your phone under water.
Also thought I would try tightening the brake lines, and got bit of a turn on them.
Still need to go out and test them. If it still persists then it may be master cylinder, but this looks like a new item and not the original from 1998.

also decided to have a little tinker and check ICV and vacuum pipes.

what a fiddle little job that was! Not if you got tiny little girl hands , but big fat cock fingers its tricky. Plus the last bastard that worked on the damn thing thought he would have a laugh and put all the jubilee clips on with the screws facing the back of the car. So with a few c words and patience tested I got it off.
Then the inner child came out and I thought about running the trumpets upside down sticking out the bonnet.
