Hopefully it will be a simple fix.
This is a 150 Super of a mates, front brake dives, as do all old Vespa's on 8" wheels.
But it is a nice controlled brake:

Thanks Shaun, will give it a go tomorrow and give an update. Fingers crossed

Shaun, you're a genius

Fitted a complete new cable and it's sorted..................still dives like a premiership centre forward and the brake is pretty crap, but it's useable. You don't think you're going to die everytime you pull the lever in.........which is a bonus

Thanks everyone else for your suggestions as well.

Genius, hardly

Glad to help though, the brakes will bed in, I know it should be simple, but a few miles tends to help.
At least you wont be headbutting the pavement everytime you brake now
