... don't fix it !

 

 

Changed my brake fluid at the weekend, old stuff was probably the original and looked most unpleasant.

 

Anyway, bled out the fronts, luverly jubbly no worries, then did the rears. No matter how much fluid I pushed through I got a steady stream of tiny bubbles appearing. Mucked about for a while wondering whether it was something to do with the bleed nipples on the rear calipers, then gave up and decided that all the additional work the master cylinder had just done has worn something out, broken something, dislodged some crap which had damaged something etc and was now drawing in air. So I took it for a drive and it seemed OK. Drove it again this morning and it is defintely not good. So now I have something else to fix !!! Anyway MJP came up trumps (as usual) with a master cylinder repair kit (~£40) which will be my first plan of attack, followed by a new master cylinder (~£160) if that doesn't solve it.

 

I was tempted to re-bleed the fronts to see whether there was no air coming through them but there was a distinct risk of making them worse rather than better so I left (almost)well alone.

 

Anyway, let that be a lesson to you all !!

 

Happy days.

Oh Lord, bless this thy holy master cylinder, that the calipers being mighty in thy sight may grip the discs.

 

Will this do, Andy? I'm more used to chanting Ommmmmmmmmmmmm

Every little helps - just send positive thoughts that whisk away the air bubbles ;)

I ain't slagging you off you over sensitive lemon!

 

Just having a laugh that's all, I love you really you know that.

 

Most of the time I'm taking the p1ss which we're all professionals at. :D
