Bit of help please
When the campervan went in for the mot back in October, the tester said the rear brakes didnt do anything, the front brakes i think were okay, but the pedal crept down when held under pressure.
Seeing as how the rear brakes were new, I expected that the previous owner just had'nt bled them.
I have now fitted new calipers, pads and discs to the front, but when I came to bleed the brakes, I have these problems....
1: the pedal goes down and doesnt come back up.
2: when pumping the pedal by hand, no fluid comes out of the bleed nipple and the fluid in the reservoir stays the same (you do get a glugging sound).
I guess the fluid is getting past the seals inside the cylinder, but need to know if there is any other possibilities as new master cylinder are not available, nor are the seals.
Also is there any way of testing the cylinder when its off the camper?
