hay guys, im not sure if ii need to bleed my brakes more or if the clio servo nneeds adjusting,

iv read on here that some do and some dont, add spacer to make the rod longer or shorten it depending on your pedal.

whitch way around is it? my brakes work but the pedal goes to the floor first and can hear nose from the servo in the car.

any help will save me hourss of working it out..

You need to adjust the servo rod so that there's a small amount of freeplay between the servo rod end and the master cylinder. If the rod is still too long when it's adjusted all the way in (in its shortest position) then you'll need a shim. :-)

It was all in the Wiki, which is in the sticky at the top of this forum.
