Hi, i have a 1995 corsa b 1.2 8v, about a month ago i had the car booked into a local garage to look at my brakes as the brake pedal was going down about 3/4 before they would do anything, they replace the pads and the cyclinders at the rear, since then about a week ago the spongy brakes have returned i feel like im just chucking money into this car, any ideas what to do??
Regards Chris

Re: Spongy Brakes :(
sounds like they need bleeding. trouble with brake fluid is it soaks up moisture in the air, this make your brakes spongy.
bleeding is easy enough, but its a 2 man job unless you get a oneway valve, or a vacuume kit. both can be found on ebay.
