no brakes

[scotty16v]

valver brakes have died all of a sudden, fluid is very very low, jacked up the car checkes all four wheel and no sign of fluid there.

Rear pipes look new as do the disks and revently had an mot so presume all pipes were ok.

This leaves the master cylinder or the servo vacuum, pedal does not come back even when pumped so that outlaws the master cylinder?

Any thoughts before i take i t to the garage? please...

have you checked around there for fluid loss, it has to be coming out somehwere!

 

[scotty16v]

around where?

 

[steve_rt]

the master cylinder - or around all the hoses / pipes. if the fluid level has gone down a lot it has to have come out somewhere, and you will see a stain where it did

took it to the garage it was the valve spring thing at the back of the car that lets more fluid to the back brakes.

part is like £50 and £60 labour including vat
