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

Check your pipes for heavy corrosion. When was the last brake fluid change? What discs and pads have you got? Check servo for leaks.

Check for leaks, have a look at all your pipes. You could do with having all the fluid changed, it might be worth getting a Haynes manual.
