Well the gunk in the rockers might well be down to the EGR valve ,,if its still in operation ,,get a blanking plate.that`ll stop the gunk build up.
I know what you mean with the other s**t had family go through same ,,,enjoy doing the heads..:):)

Sorry i cant give you any ideas on the gasket repair stuff as i have never used it ,,but my one question would be ..how long will it last ( if it works ) ...if you have 5 weeks to burn
enjoy yourself,,,do the heads,, you will thank yourself for doing it ..and possibly save a chunk of dosh...
Ok Found out what the problem was..one of the retaining pins had come out of the caliper,
allowing the pads to move and one had twisted enough to allow one of the pistons to move all the way out and hit the disk.this is why i had a soft peddle then it went hard again when the piston could move...
Hi Dave.
Tried the ABS today and all seemed well brakes work fine ,dont know what the problem was but will replace the fluid tomorrow and clean the system .
Hopefully the problem will be fixed.It could just be what PAWL said and was a little bit of dirt in the master cylinder..
But thank you...
Hi Dave
Wish you where closer.could do with some good tyres,,but anyway do you have a master cylinder to fit a disco 1 1998 anniversary model ,,if so how much inc postage ??
Thanks
Thank you for that tip, i will change the fluid as soon as possible ,then do as Dave suggested and check the ABS ,,
Will let you know how it all goes.
Thanks again for all the good advice.
Hi Dave .
Thanks for the reply,, Yes this is exactly what happens,,put foot on brake,,start engine ,,peddle travels away then stops firm,,,Not sure what to do now as i am worried it might happen again and not sure which way to go..
Have had another look today ...Still no leaks that i can see and my brakes seem to be working as they should ,,,peddle is firm and not at all spongy, just cannot understand it
But i dont want it to happen again,,could this be an intermittent fault with the master cylinder..???any help or advise...
Hi.
Thank you both ,When this happened i looked underneath and found no leaks , i took off the top of the reservoir and it was full .
but will check again as soon as its light enough for me to see.
Thanks again
