Can anyone indicate if having a very high brake pedal position/low accelerator position is normal.
This makes it difficult to drive as you have to get your shoe down past the brake pedal and baulk head in order to press the accelerator.
The accel seems to give full amount of eco-drive meter deflection ok.
However, the brakes are spungy and require hard work to pull up quickly.
106 Accelerator -v- brake pedal position
I have noticed this in other small cars, not at all sure if its right mind you, but I have experienced a similar issue on the odd small hire car.
I presume the brakes are servo'd like the Blingo, if not then they will require a fair amount of preasure, thats the trouble with our assisted world we live in of power this, assisted that, go back 25yrs and servo brakes where a luxury and power steer was only for top spec motahs
Must admit I'd expect the 106 to have a servo question is, is it working ?

Brake pedal position
Just a thought & this will involve getting your head under the dashboard. Check that the lock nut (if fitted) on the brake pedal push rod is tight. Many years ago I had this come loose on a Land Rover. First the pedal free movement dissapeared, then!!! the push rod fell off & I had no brakes. As it happened I was on a building site & no harm done. It would be a different matter on the road. Remember what Columbo says. "When something unusual happens sir, there's gotta be a reason."
I have no problems with my Blingo, but my wife; who has far smaller feet than I, is always complaining about the pedals.
