Volks, My brakes are behaving strangely. When I press the pedal it goes down at least halfway before anything happens, and then the brakes seem weak. But, if I pump the pedal once, it starts braking after about an inch of travel on the second depression, and the braking action is much better. I have bled the brakes at all four wheels with a combination of a vacuum bleeder and pedal depressions. I ran a total of 1.5 litres of DOT4 fluid though the system. So I beleive that air in the lines is now unlikely. What else could it be?
