How much travel should there be on the brake pedal before it engages

Post by Percy247 »

Bit of a strange one really but nothing seems to happen for the first 2 inches of travel then the brakes apply. In other vehicles I drive, the brakes start to come on after depressing the pedal about half an inch.

I had the brake fluid changed at ATS a couple of years ago. Does this point to air in the system and is there a specific order to bleed the brakes? Maybe they did it in the wrong order? Does the clutch also need bleeding as well?
