That looks pretty std for an Omega Andy B.  Have to say, IME, that doesn't cause sponginess, but certainly needs replacing...

You're right, but the pedal feel wasn't right and gave a springy feel, which wasn't dissimilar in feel to a spongy pedal.  :y

Don't know if it will help but here's the link i was referring to earlier about brake pedal height adjustment

I've not tried this though my car could probably do with it. Maybe some of the more knowledgeable OOFers could give their thoughts on this?

Right, thanks for all the input, I now have some more checks to carry out. Once I have rechecked all pistons, discs and pads, (although done within last three months) I may pay a visit to Tech 2.

I don't think this is the issue, as a pump stiffens it up a bit. :y

have you checked for an air leak, had vectra and it was an air leak at fault, turn'd out to be the joint in the line.

Worth checking, thanks. :y
