Hi Pete,

I've recently purchased a '98 412D and find the same. Brakes apply smoothly and very effectively with little effort, and I was wondering about the generous travel, (whether they needed servicing or not); now I've heard its common, I figure its just a matter of being familiar with the vehicle.

Safe & happy travels,
James.

older sprinters were noted for long pedal on the brakes , cant help with newer ones but cant see it being much better
