Looks like it will have to be a dealer, but the funny thing is the brakes went like this before I had changed everything.

Re: Long brake peddle

Ok still no brakes, had it the garage and they haven't fixed it, what's happening is there no fluid going to the rear calipers they advise me its most probably the abs unit and quoted me £2500 for a new one, Question could this be the problem before forking out more money, I have no warning lights ...
