sweet - i'll take it out in a couple of weeks and go grab a kit!

i'll keep my eyes open in the hope that they miraculously get fixed! How much of a pain are the MC's to put new seals in? Biggred are just over the road so I should get a seal kit easy!

Was just a lucky guess tbh 🤷‍♂️ I'll try and tackle it from the top, but i may just drag the whole lot through the bulkhead and strip it down on a bench! Thanks for the advice tonight bud!

oh okay yeah - with a cable clutch I imagine its a bit easier to come through the bulkhead! I'm gonna take a guess and say you're based in Yorkshire... unfortunately I'm about 3.5 hours south in Worcester, so unless you fancy a trip... 😆

@YorkshireKyle easiest way to take the MC and servo out? undo everything and bring it back through the cabin with the pedal box? then i guess i need to get clip/an rs tuner to make the abs bleed easier?

pictures aren't showing on my computer either unfortunately!

if you could mate that would be ace! this might be a job for the week between christmas and new year. i found this the other day too, maybe it was brake fluid after all...

thought this might be the case... is it a case of take apart, clean, new seals and refit or is it more a case of new servo/MC? i didn't notice whether the MC was moving too much, but the reservoir seems to move around a lot on the top of the MC. noticed when i was undoing/doing the cap on the...

so I shouldn't be worrying about it too much? My reservoir also seems quite wobbly on the top of the MC, is this how it should be or should it be solid?

Was looking at my brake servo earlier, noticed there was quite a bit of rust underneath the master cylinder. Is this normal?

Oh so the servo comes through the bulkhead. in that case, if it isn’t brake fluid what is it likely to be?

Does the shaft in the MC not protrude through into the cabin? I’ll try and get a light down behind the engine tomorrow and see if I can see anything!

I was noseying under the dash earlier and noticed I had a small drip coming from the white cap in the picture. I’m assuming it’s brake fluid and it’s coming from the master cylinder. Before I order a cylinder and go about replacing it, can anyone suggest anything else to check first / anything...

@Brigsy i originally thought that it may have been an air leak, but it’s so inconsistent! When I get in it yesterday it idled at 2k cold. then Today it’s at 1250. It also has a funny five minutes once every week or two that it just slowly dies when I coast to a stop. It doesn’t even feel like...

@Brigsy like this one? eBay Link how much detail does it show on the live data? i've got an obd2 wireless dongle that connects to my phone and that gives me some live data. My idle fluctuates when I'm coasting (between 1200 and 2000 on a bad day) but when i come to a stop it steadys out. i just...
