   I have had all 4 brakes replaced in the last 4 months witht he front two being done in the last 2 weeks. I still get a lot of spongyness and travel in the pedal and wondered if this is as simple as bleeding the system or if it could be a bigger problem.
   
   Also wanted to check i have put 14" vtr wheels onto a 1.1 desire. Could this affect the performance or the vehicle as it feels slower than it did with the old wheels on?

   Not too sure about the brake problem but the alloys could make some difference as they are quite a bit heavier than the original steelies

   as for the brakes, just keep bleeding them . sounds like you still have air trapped in the lines.
