Damn I do not know why I never twigged this problem of yours, you
were suffering pad kick off which is the disc wobbling and pushing
the pads back so that when you want to brake the master cylinder
has to fill the space left in the caliper before pushing on to the
disc.
It is common when racing and on track days (I actually make
Dolomite vented brake kits because their brakes are awful) to have
to pump the brakes as you go down a straight after severe
cornering. MX5 calipers have little springs fitted to push the
pads back on to the disc (cunning Japs).
Oh well we all live and learn and sometimes we forget what we have
learnt, of course some just live.

Was this a front or rear wheel bearing ?

Yes there could be a connection as if the bearing was
that loose the first action of your brakes would be to
try and pull everything into line. This would gives an
odd feel to the brakes indeed.
Watch out for using mole grips on brake pipes as the
sharp edges of the grips can damaged the brake pipes.
You can get special grips with rounded profiles
especially for this job from halfrauds or a motor factors.
Good luck

managed to get my car to a different garage today
who tightened the
wheel bearing that was causing the wobbling. They
advised me how to
check the master cyinder and the other cylinders
with a little test
using molar clips. going to do this, this weekend
and hopefully get it
sorted. The brakes felt soo much better after the
wheel bearing was
tightened or is that just me? could there be a link?
Many thanks

Do you know if Ford still sell them or is it a
case of eBay again?
From what you were describing about the servo
seal being temperamental I
think that's my problem.

You can't repair servos, they are crimped
together, you need to replace it.
You can (or used to) be able to buy seal only
or seals and piston kits to
repair the master cylinder.

If the master servo seal is on its way out,
who sells them?
