Okay! It's been a while!

My car is in the garage as we speak. In fact my garage have told me I'm stupid for driving it around!


There's basically nothing! Yes I'm very stupid

Anyway they called me today after replacing a break master cylinder for the 3rd time (last time they also did loads setting up breaks ect and we are back to square one)

It's still doing it!!! Sinking to the floor!

So they are going to take everything apart to find the fault!

It's driving me insane

Yep I am having the same problem still.

My J rear brakes are in bits. I will be:

- Replacing wheel cylinders
- Shoes
- Degreasing and overhauling adjusters (which actually look OK)
- Rebuilding rear brake lines
- Replacing rear flexihose
- Changing front pads and disks

All bits purchased ready to be fitted.MC already done and front hoses. Biggest problem is rusted bolts and nuts. All got to come off and be replaced.

If that dont work, then what else!

Good luck!

Yes it was. Why do they have bad form with Master Cylinders?
