I'm thinking maybe the latter at the pedal still engages at the normal point - its not come up the top of the travel... :?

Bit miffed to be honest as I've not had the truck long, but what can you expect with an old vehicle?

Any other advice before I get stuck into this at the weekend?!? Any "step-by-step" photo guides kicking around?!?
BUMP! Anyone?!?
