They are stopping the car really well and are miles better than the rubbish oe pads. Just wondering why the pedal has a bit more travel than at the start. Not bothered about binning pads or swapping them.

I would hardly call oem pads rubbish, but the pedal travel would be to do with servo pressure on the master cylinder which will fluctuate on all brake pedal presses not by much but enough to notice...nothing to worry about

Why fit 'boy racer' parts to a shopping car?

I'm going too try this method of leaving the pedal depressed, shall I unscrew the reservoir cap and leave it resting on so no dirty gets in? Will I have too bleed the brakes after or will it be alright? Cheers

Not sure what your idea is?, but not a good idea to hold the brakes on or leave the cap just sitting on reservoir?

I'm replying too what Chris had put about leaving the pedal depressed overnight. I have read loads of forums with people saying it has worked so it's worth a try

I cant say I have ever had a problem with Fiesta brake bleeding, so would be surprised if any air is left in the system, no need to take cap off though

Just did it and left it for a few hours and the fluid level dropped slightly and the pedal feels better. Topped it back up and went for a quick drive and the brakes engage higher up the pedal. Will leave it overnight too see if it helps anymore

Sounds like the servo brought the pedal up not the fluid,

but if it's stays as it is then I'm happy.

That is doubtfull....

Why is it doubtful?

In certain cases it can be hard to expell all the air and sometimes a good idea to bleed the rears as well, assuming you havent already, but if you have, try doing all four wheels starting at the furthest away ie rear n/s then rear o/s then f/n/s then o/s/f last and see what that does that might clear it....
