The dreaded sinking brake pedal

[galooph]

I've had the Surf a month and the brakes have been fine up till now, so I don't see it being air in the system. The servo is working fine, so I suspect the master cylinder is kaput.

Where's the best place to get a replacement from? Milners?

Hi galooph,

Have you checked the rear brake cylinders for leaks ?
(tell tale dribble of fluid down the back plate), and all
the brake pipes over the fuel tank and over the axel.
Under the n/s rear seat is a plate, remove this and you
will see the pipes over the tank.
Hope this helps.

Gman.

Hi Gman,

Haven't had chance to get underneath yet, but I will. The fluid level in the reservoir hasn't dropped at all, so I don't think it's a leak.

Thanks for the tip about the access plate under the rear seat!

Master cylinder seals need re-newing. Probably a dealer part.
