Nah, the pedal felt odd before I touched anything, feels more like the Vectra, bit of travel before anything happens, but goes solid with the engine off (no servo). The 1.8 was instant 'grab' the moment you touched the pedal... The ideal would be in between the two really lol as I keep nearly headbutting the screen in the 1.8 lol. AFAIK you cant get air stuck in the ABS pump as it defaults to open when engines off.
Knocking is a quiet slow rhythmic knock, its odd as it seems too slow to be anything at all, I'd guess about every 4 rotations of a roadwheel it happens. Though various things are just hanging atm, so could be cat pipe or spare wheel hook or something clunking. Will see if it still happens when it's all back together. Tbh now I think about it, I don't remember tightening rear wheel bolts much as wasn't expecting to drive it today, but rain started so didn't have much else I could do except take it round the block...so could even be a loose wheel lol.
Its all very well saying just drive it, but I don't want a repeat of the Vectra... Once I've lost trust in a car it doesn't come back so trying to reduce the chance of anything failing on me!
