Hello.
We've had our Panda for less than a year, its done 14000 miles though!
Just lately [i.e. In the last week] the brake pedal has lost its razor sharpness & got a bit of travel. Its still got loads of brakes & will stop just as well if you push the pedal.
Is this just the newness wearing off or could I have a problem? i've checked the fulid level, OK & the pads & linings were checked on its servive 2000 miles ago & there's loads left on them. The hand brake lever doesn't seem to have any more travel than it used to either.
Any thoughts?
 
Sorry, should have said I'm a mechanic!
The hand brake could be affected by failed self adjusters , increased shoe / drum clearance. i should check if the pedal will 'pump up'.
I'll let you know.
