Intermitting spoungy breaks ?

Does anydody else suffer from spoungy breaks where you cannot get the breaks to lock up ?Sometimes get so bad I hit the bottom of the break pedal.
Ive had the servo done but it still seems to do it. Twisted Evil

nows the time to get that back to the dealer, they all must be jittery with the toyota recall.

They would probably give you a new car to shut you up. Whistle Don't put petrol in a diesel. They don't run well.

I just got back in hopefully this may give some more detail:

A) First when break applied sharply it seems spoungy although efficient.

B) Applied again immediately it is even more spoungy.

c) applied immediately again (so its the third time immediately breaking in a row) theres almost nothing there and my foot reach the end of the travel of the break.

Is this normal or do I have a fault ? Im even thinking I have air in them from the servo change. Confused

Thats a fault, get it into the dealers, and don't take it back until its sorted. Don't put petrol in a diesel. They don't run well.

I did that first time round Npinks, they were out within half hour cant fault them. They took my car off from work and told me id have a loan car by the time id finish - it never turned up !
Anyway I had to get a taxi home as I live 9 miles away from the farm I was on. They never did call back with a car, I got my wife to drop me off in the end at the dealership to bring it home. Evil or Very Mad
Thats my encounter of LRA anyway ! Rolling with laughter
