It has been a long time since I been on the board. Glad to see some familiar names. I let my 1999 Viggen sit for about 12 months because of broken leg and then being too busy to replace a dead battery.
The battery is replaced and she fired right up. I changed the oil and went for a spin. The brake pedal is really soft. It goes to the floor and stops the car but it doesn't do it well. I can hear the pads dragging on the rotors very clearly. After about 30 20 to 0 mph stops, the rotors are still rusty.
I've swapped the brake fluid using a motive power bleeder and it did not improve the situation. Does anybody have any thoughts? Could somebody comment on the loudness of their pads dragging on the rotors?
