Disco TD5 Brakes not bleeding

Think I've sussed the clutch issue as its ok but the brakes are ****, then the brakes get ok then the clutch goes ****.

So all the suggestions about air in the system seem to be right, tried the sleazy-bleed option but the caps dont fit the resevoir so i employed a mate to pump it the old fashioned way.

I get air and minging fluid from the NSR, OSF, OSR and virtually nothing from the NSF.

It will at most push about a third of an inch of fluid down the pipe but nowt else.

Would this suggest that maybe

A) The master cylinder is fecked (3rd one)
B) The brake servo is fecked
C) There is a leak somewhere (no wetness anyway that two of us can see)
D) Someone else needs to do it before i really get narked wiv it ???!!!


Please god, someone help me ........... :doh:

Bleeding should go easy, until it shows problems like you have, then a search is needed. Reading you problem I would recommend to put the disco to a software unit and bleed the ABS pump and al 4 brake points. It doesn't need to be a dealer machine, normal universal workshops with a diagnostic tool should have that possibility.

The pedal is then automaticly "pushed on" with an ABS pulse and the valves in the ABS pump are working at the same time.

Old fashioned mechanics say this should be nessesary, but I have solved the problem more than once if you do it the "modern" way.

Let us know what it does.
