Help!!!
Symptoms - First press of the pedal, lots of travel before there is any braking
effect. Since there is not much travel left, I hit the floor before I can
achieve strong braking; mild braking requires almost the full travel of the
pedal.
Release the pedal (completely), and press again - brakes behave fine, braking
effort builds without too much pedal travel, can lock the wheels long before I
hit the floor.
This came on today - Friday my brakes were fine (as far as I remember), this
morning they were dodgy.
Brake fluid level was low-ish (just above the min. mark on the reservoir), so I
topped up at lunch-time - no change, brakes still dodgy.
My wife is supposed to be borrowing Daffy tomorrow, so I could really do with
having this fixed today!! This means that I would really appreciate replies
by 5:00 UK time (12:00 Eastern, 9:00 Pacific US times I think) if you read
this before then! Also, since I subscribe to the digest, could replies be
directed to my own e-mail address (as well as to the List for everyone else's
benefit).
Many thanks,
Richard & Daffy (goes fine, doesn't stop!)
