(Mk1 1973 1300L Disc front drum rear)
Bought the car with this defect
Well after spending quite sometime on this fault and purchasing a new master cylinder I have still not managed to get my brakes working
Original diagnosis
Brake pedal to the floor, no resistance whatsoever
tried to bleed the brakes absolutely nothing coming through the system (Tandem servo and master cylinder)
went for a new master cylinder, after discussion and recommendations discussing this on here and seemed the logical option
Arrived and fitted today, topped up and started to bleed the system
Managed to bleed the rears pulled through to new good fluid
tried to bleed the primary, Disc circuit, and managed to bleed the Off side drivers side
went to bleed the near side passenger side, nothing at all, pedal still to the floor (pumping for ages)
removed the fixed pipe from the calliper on the end of the flexi nearside, and nothing even dripping through , even pressing the brake pedal with this off nothing coming out
Well gutted as hoped the new master cylinder would have been the answer
So thinking a collapsed flexi ?, they are not in the best shape, all the fixed brake lines are or seem spot on the flexi's not so, especially on the nearside which has also lost its anchor point on the upright and seeping
could this be the issue or has anyone has a similar problem, the callipers seem good and the pads are quite new not getting anything out of the pipe when removed is a puzzle other than maybe the flexi?
Any ideas, thinking trying to find a brake specialist to do it, if I can find one, but any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated
