Slight issue with brakes

[griffithsbilly86]

Hi guys so as the title states I seem to have to press the brake pedal quite hard to stop. Is this normal with a ka or it there a common issue the causes this to happen?

 

Thanks in advance for any tips or pointers.

Check to make sure your brake fluid is fully topped up, it might also be worth having the brake fluid replaced with new too, not that expensive to get done around £30 and it's something that needs doing every 2 years as a recommendation. 

Discs and pads should be checked for good measure.

Ok thanks I’ll do that. Pads and disks are good I checked all of that when I changed the clutch a few weeks ago. Your could be right about brake fluid as I don’t have any service history when I got it.

Check the vacuum for the brake servo.
