Oky doky boys and girls, went to Barton yesterday and had gr8 fun! however the brake pedal decided it would be good fun to go to the floor before stopping the truck! (oops) This has happened before at Knowsley last year but cleared up. The fluid level is fine, the pads are not new but far from being worn! today for work the brakes felt spongy so i pumped them as you would to bleed them and the red brake warning light came on for a few seconds and went off! (very strange) Anyone had a similar problem or no what it might be

As Mark and Gaz say clean your brakes out. The auto adjusters tend not to work to well so with both rear wheels lifted adjust rear shoes. This will cut down the travel. this should be done b4 any handbrake adjustment. If the wheel cyl pistons have to much travel they push out too far (leaking past seals) and causes loss of pressure therefore pedel to the floor. The red light is your fluid level warning light top it up. Check your wheel cyls for leakage and bleed if they have.
Had the same prob and it was a wheel cyl weeping under excess travel.BEWARE OF THE REAPER
