Hi there,

Make sure that you have bleed the brakes of air completely, make sure that all the brake lines are tight and you have no leaks, check this first and report back and further problems if the pedal is not improved.

Have bleed all air out talked to dealer they say they think it is n linkage disconnected powerboost pedal moves fairly easy, they say booster most likely not to go out, but could cause problems if it did, i'm going to replace brake booster next.
