[Mgs] spongy brakes

[Paul Hunt]

In case any one is still wondering what on earth you are talking about I 
presume you mean setting the free-play of the brake-light switch on those 
cars with a mechanical switch either on the pedal box or pedal bracket 
inside the cockpit.  That is the only free-play you can set.  If the switch 
is screwed too far in it stops the pedal coming back far enough, and the 
piston doesn't clear the port from the reservoir.  The usual symptom of that 
is the brakes binding as they heat up and the fluid expands.  If the switch 
isn't screwed in far enough the brake lights stay on all the time.
