hi all,

just had a long trip to and around Cheshire.

occasionally, the brake pedal went a bit sloppy, not completely, and only for short periods. it was particulalrly when it was p*****g it down on the way there, but did happen when it wa roasting yesterday. from memory of younger years, i pumped the pedal and it was fine.

the tank in the dashboard is right up at MAX.

any ideas?
