205 1.9 - brake adjustment
Discussion
picked up another 205 last night
for a change I don't have a list of things to do before I'm happy with it but the only thing I need to sort out is the brake pedal feel - it seems there's nearly an inch of travel before they bite
other than bleeding the system is there anything I can do to make the brakes bite earlier?

Shouldn't be necessary to "upgrade" to improve things, although they do feel much better with braided lines fitted. Do you have a 1.6 or 1.9?
I've not had a problem with 1.9s but with base model cars I've had slack travel before they do anything so I think it is something in the drums that causes this (auto adjusters?). If it is air in the system then they will feel spongy when braking as well.
