Have got too much brake pedal travel and its feeling really spongy - master cyclinder looks fairly new, plenty of brake lining left, have bled the system - is initially a bit better and then goes spongy again, flexible hoses look pretty old (will replace them this weekend) - anyone got any other ideas what the problem could be? Many thx

Install them new soft lines, then bleed it starting with the following order:
rear passenger - driver side, front passenger - drive sides

Is this on a 79-80 or 81-85 model? Or is it the Alfa as listed in your profile? :-)

Its an 80 - the Alfa brakes are fine - but dont asked about Italian electrics :-)

And thx for the advice re hoses and bleeding order - will get to it Saturday

SA's have one bleeder for rear brakes. I cant remember which side it is located.

if it has rear drums, make sure that the rear wheel cylinders arent leakin.

slap on some Stainless braided lines, that should firm up that pedal a bit
