mechanical test

well guess it will probably be havin another new master cylinder or servo under warranty lol

no they have rulled them out

[fatfires]

diaphram in servo is fubared, or vent valve faulty, diapham can't return pressure or vaccum on wrong side=brakes applied - remove pipe= no action on servo, brakes off! simple realy!
(have to admit it is a bit of a guess!!!!!!!!could be wrong he he)

garage have had it since thursday and they havent figured it yet,
im guessing there is a vacumm pump with a pressure release valve some where?

i rang the garage tonight and they are still scratching their heads and talking of stripping out all the behind the dash link rods(servo on n/s ) connecting the pedal to the servo

52 plate Peugeot expert van has severally binding brakes
who knows whats wrong with it

Pads are rubbing on the disks thats whats doing it

[plumb bob]

Are the brake lights on all the time?

Is it a mechanical defect with the foot pedal mechanism, ie jammed on?

update
the garage was still working on it at 5 tonight, they recon its a part that is attached to the bulkhead behind the engine, its part of the link rods from pedal to servo some ball joint thingy pug uk recon they have never sold one to a vehicle that hasnt been in a front end crash, had mine from new so i know its not from crash damage

I'm with fatfires, it's vacuum related.

Sounds like it was an easy fix and they've "invented" some other work to slap a big bill in your hand!

[mud skipper]

they woulnt say what the other fault was but i think its going to be along those lines (vacuum)
