break peddal going to the floor

denis the menace · Sep 23, 2007

Hi Guys first day on the site been doing the brakes on denis and got bored trying on my own now thought id have a go at the vast knowledge of you other landy owners. Here we go then brake peddal after time goes to the floor with the red light coming on. Before you sat its the master cylinder ive put a new one on then i put new flex pipes then new callipers this was after the obviouse bleeding and replacing shoes and pads . any ideas guys as i dont want to start doing things like the servo or the vacum pump without being sure so if you know a way of testing these can you let me know as i just want to get back to actually using the dam thing. looks like a good site though Helllllpppppp

have you replaced all your old brake fluid with new if so try bleeding again

denis the menace · Sep 24, 2007

yes done that all new fluid throughout trying the rear cylinders and front pipes today keep em crossed

timberjock · Sep 24, 2007

don't think its the servo cause if it goes the pedal would be rock hard if I remember wrightly. I would think air getting in or not bled out proparly also the rear cylinders are most likley place, they could be weeping slightly giving you the prob as described

What about the slave cylinder did you replace that at the same time as the master?

Aye .... he's in the business all right .... just keep throwing new bits at it and one day the problem will be solved ... and the customer pays for it all.

In the olden days we used a process called "intelligent diagnosis".

Some of us still have that disease .... it's incurable, and catching, but unfortunately some people seem to be immune and will never catch it.

These immune people all seem to own garages and stealerships.

Funny that.

If you want to save a bob or two you are more likely to catch it...
