My brake pedal is playing up - the first half of the travel don't seem to
make any difference in either GPL or in the wheel properties test thingy.
After half travel the brakes come on OK but I don't get full braking power.
It was working fine just two hours ago and I haven't changed *anything*
since.
Don't really want to open it up so is there anything I can do before I have
to resort to the screwdriver?
Cheers

no matter it's mysteriously fixed itself...

Seriously...
If you were holding down the brake pedal when the drivers initialized at
startup, the entire calibration will be skewed until you restart again.
That little 'wiggle' you feel in the wheel during a startup is the system
calibrating.
