he has used 7 litres of brake fluid in the last week, dont see how wheel bearings would affect the pump. possible pressure acculuator, will mspeak to him

just spoke to him, its now not pulling to one side, but the pump isnt keeping the pressure up, the light goes out but the pump doesnt cut out coz its not getting up to full pressure. he has read up on the system in a haynes manual, in the library
