Ive had 2 saxo's now, a 1.1 and a 1.4i.
the 1.1 had shite brakes, so i got it serviced but didnt resolve the problem, now ive got the 1.4i, they're stil crap. The best way i can describe it is they're spongy (a lame word to use but cant fink of a better one), when i press the pedal, the brakes dnt kick in until the pedals halfway to the floor.
what the hell can i do to sort this out?? changing the fluids or sumfin?
any help u can give wud b awesome. cheers

have them bled thouroughly, if that doesn't cure it then i'm afraid you have standard piss poor saxo brakes. get a 206 gti conversion or 306 gti-6 conversion (these wont fit under 14" wheels though)
