no there is no spring on the brake pedal.
The clutch pedal sits the highest, brake pedal lower then the accel pedal lowest.
However if the brake pedals sinking to the floor and staying there then theres a hydraulic problem. |

air in the system I'd say rather than faulkty servo.
Servo doesn't do anything aside from assist, unles its been very badly adjusted which if it is the pedal travel will be lots and also will have poor braking, very poor braking as in it will struggle to make the car stop at any speed. |

will bleed system and see. This car was never looked after before i bought it. overheated at first and blew coolant hoses. Flushed and renewed coolant and now this. oh well these things were sent to try us. |

indeed.
Cars are always the same, still when its all sorted the car should be reliable. |
