Hi All,
Just had a top weekend at DATC with earlybay, unfortunately had a bit of a brown trousers experience 20 miles out when the brakes failed, pedal went all the way to the floor with no effect! after rapidly pumping the pedal i got a small amount of braking but once i'd released the pedal it needed pumping again until even that had no effect? No fluid loss as well!
I was all prepared to get the dreaded RAC lift home after the weekend when bizarrely the brakes now work as normal?? obviously now i have no confidence in them so i'm thinking of replacing the master cylinder, question is I thought they were a twin circuit system so this couldnt happen unless both circuits in the cylinder simultaneously failed? sounds a bit unlikely but would appreciate any thoughts in this before i waste a hundred quid!
Cheers
