Hello Rippthrough, thank you for your input. The front setup is the ATE setup which has benefitted from new discs and pads. I think you might be right about the brake shoes, I have never adjusted them myself and stories are common about the adjustors sticking. The shoes are also quite old, they've been on since I've had the car since 2009. You raise an interesting point about the servo rod, when the servo is on the pedal does have to travel a fair way before it is firm. I would certainly prefer if that same firmness could be experienced almost instantly. I have checked the Haynes and getting to the servo appears to be a pig of a job. Perhaps I will get KrisB to do it, haha!
Daniel306, thanks for the link, so in that article the smaller longer piston is the 19mm master cylinder and the wider shorter piston is the 23mm master cylinder.
