Bled my brakes yet again, this time with Blue to make sure the old fluid (Motul) was completely flushed. The brakes still feel mushy. Like there is 2+" of travel before they bite. Could there be air trapped in the ABS system? DSC? I didn't have the car in the "on" position when bleeding, should I have? I've never read this being required for the MINI's system. I know some ABS systems have bleed valves does the MINI?

I'll be getting a test drive or two in other MINIs so that I can compare the brake peddle feel to my own.

Any help appricated. Failing this I'll be getting the MINI dealership to bleed them until they are right.

Cheers,

Paul
