Default Brakes Question

Sorry for appearing a bit slow here fellas but which way do I wind the bar on the brake pedal to ease the pressure of the master cylinder? I had a brake binding problem - I sent it to the garage and they said the same as me to much pressure. They've eased the bar which has helped as it now rolls in neutral when cold, but she's still sticking a little when warm. OR to put it honestly the garage is rubbish because they've only done half the job and I don't trust them to go within a mile of the car again! Honesty is always the best policy.

do you think you have the touch to get proper tension on an additional spring to help return?

An additional spring? Sounds interesting, it also sounds like you've come up against this problem before? My head is going under the fascia panel this morning to investigate. So I will look for additional spring mounting points.

Ha that would explain it, that's quite a few years. Bet you go to bed and see spark plugs. Thanks for the advice I've been investigating today, would have done more today, but I have to admit to being a big NCIS fan and series 8 started here tonight. I realise spending all day waiting for that is rather sad, but we have David Cameron in charge here and he's not left us much else to get excited about. We'll soon have no armed forces, no industry and no money in our pockets. Don't suppose you need another state in the union?
