just had mot done on my ctr and its passed but they had to change balljoint on front right and brake hose on left rear.

after picking up my ctr i noticed that the brake travel is twice distance on the pedal and i have to pump it again and it goes back to normal.

and after a few minutes it happens again and i have to pump it. so garage have checked the the hose they replace and bleed the system, still doing it.

any ideas ? i think somehow there is a air bubble in system ? thanks

btw never had this before since i owned the car since from new 2003
