I am having problem with my brake pedal it just goes down more than other cars i have replace the brake pads, shoes and rear adjustment also master cylinder have been replaced sometimes if i press the pedal with engine on the pedal goes down to the floor slowly but when switch off it does not! i suspect master cylinder is faulty. I had this problem for 2 years now does the corsa master cylinder have problems i do not want to change again the master cylinder and till the same!

sounds like the seals may have gone in the master cylinder m8 
Have u tried bleeding ur brakes recently could be quite a large air pocket in the pipes sumwhere?
cud also be the seals in the calipers have started to wear out?

clamp the hoses off the brake lines one by one and test the pedal. if its then harder its probably a knackered calliper.
