Hi everyone.
I've got an '07 Peugeot Partner and my brake pedal seems to travel a long way before the pedal really bites.
I've had it looked at by my local trusted garage who adjusted the handbrake up a little which didn't really make any difference. They said that everything was normal and no fluid loss so it seems that this travel is normal. Does anyone else have this problem? if so is there a cure for it or do I just have to get used to it?
Thanks for looking.
Phil

Mine is the same and as far as I know it is normal, I have recently changed fluid, discs and pads on mine and it is the same

Mine are the same, were a little bit like that at first then Evans Halshaw in Mansfield interfered with the rear brakes and they have a bit more travel again.

Thank you Brodders for posting up these very descriptive pictures. I will whip the drums off and take a decko at this and see what's occurring.
Cheers,
Phil
