[urq] Urq brake pedal behaviour sorted

[Ado Sigal]

Thank all

Swapping the MC didn't make any change, but the pedal is back to normal after changing the 'bomb' from the other Urq, so
no more moaning at the Test Station. 

Regards,

Ado

I agree with Jim. If the fluid in the reservoir is not being lost, it sounds
like the master cylinder is allowing fluid to leak back past the seal into
the reservoir.

Jim.
