Brakes problem
1986 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I recently bought a 1986 Corolla. I have plenty of brake fluid, and put new front pads on today.

The brakes work, but you have to press the pedal pretty far down.

Every now and then (at an intersection for example) the car will slowly creep forward even with the brake pedal fully pressed. I then must use the parking break to keep the car from creeping!

How can the brakes work intermittently?
