Help! No brakes!

After finally scraping the money together to get the old girl taxed, I gave the Z a quick wash and headed out in the sun with the targas off, only to get to the end of the road and.... CAN'T STOP - NO BRAKES!!

 

Nothing whatsoever, pedal drops to the floor. Luckily, the handbrake is spot on ;)

 

So, I have no problems with the clutch, there is good fluid in the reservoir, but the pedal drops like a tarts knickers. The car has been stood (outside, on a slight incline) since the end of January, but there's no sign of any fluids on the drive. I've sat and pumped the pedal but there's no change at all.

 

Any ideas where to start looking?

i recon master clynder. had this hapen on acapri a few years back id cracked a brake line going down the road. might be worth investigating the linkages down there if its really loose

As said, it sounds like your BMC seals have gone. May also be worth checking that the booster hasn't failed as well.

Dude,take off the cap and stick your finger right to the bottom,see if you fish black slime out. That will be the remnants of the seals...............
