Baz2236 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi on the way home tonight my 90 tried to kill me. I came to a round about and started to brake as I got closer braked a little more but the pedal continued to travel down to the floor. So my only choice was to let off and try brakes again the same happened they bit, start to slow you then the pedal goes slowly to the floor you will still be moving with the pedal sat on the floor. I got round the round about and home but very carefully. It seems like if u brake slowly it's ok but any hard or prolonge braking the efficiently goes and the pedal drops. I have looked underneath can't see any leaks the pads are not very old. Any ideas what has happened or where to look tomorrow. Thanks in advance Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 My first thought is a leak. Do you have drums on the back, might be a wheel cylinder leaking. Another thought is you master cylinders given up and when you brake hard, fluid is escaping around a seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz2236 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 I got disks on rear from a 300 disco and braided hoses all round. I know I have some fluid in there but will check again in the morning if I can see a leak. Are you think fluid leak or vacuum leak.
