Hi, this is my old ladys 2ltr on a 99 plate(150k). The problem is the brakes are crap, it started last year when i had several attemps to bleed it, seemed ok for a short time.
In the last few weeks the pedal is down to the carpet. Had the brakes apart today no leaks everything seemed as it should, checked the master cylinder seals looked ok. Re bled and the pedal was hard until the engine is started, as soon as vacum is to the brake booster the pedal goes spongy and down to the floor.
Blanked the brake booster off then tried pedal again whilst the engine was running brake pedal hard again.
I'm thinking brake booster but would appreciate any advice before spending my hard earned. Or have i missed something?
cheers!!
