Re: Master cylinder removal

Mr Haynes gets it wrong more times than is forgiveable! - which is a bit naughty to say the least, the publication is supposed to help - not hinder! Perhaps they need a proof reader with a bit of mechanical savvy - rather than just reiterating workshop data that was already incorrect! Moan, moan, m...

Re: 1957 2 Door Morris Minor

Re: Buddy Needed

Question I have, having posted a couple of questions today, is, do I get an email, preferably with a link, when my post is replied to. If not then it would be a nice extra touch - most other forums do that. I looked at this, and the poster concerned was last active on the forum about 15 minutes afte...

More brake 'issues'

Both of my cars currently have the same issue. Brakes work fine AFTER you have pumped them a couple of times. They are not driven regularly (alas) and when I get in them the brakes flop uselessly to the floor when I press the pedal. Do this a couple of times and normal expected service is resumed. T...

Re: Brake fluid leak

I have the same sort of issue, car stood all winter, no brakes, no fluid in the master cylinder... no sign of any leak, nothing on the garage floor... I will have a look in the chassis but previous experience suggests it gets out of there onto the floor if the leak is around the master cylinder... s...
