Brakes

<< < (2/2)

karloss:
When you lose the brakes, do you gain a noise like a pump running under the bonnet? It could be dodgy ABS sensors telling the system lies. The loss of brakes could well be your ABS coming in uninvited. Try disconecting the sensors, this will mean the fault light will be on but the brakes should then work as a non ABS set up.

To test the servo, pump the pedal with the engine off when it goes solid, keep your foot on and start the engine, the pedal should sink slowly down to a more "normal" braking position.

I'm assuming you've checked fluid levels etc?

Thanks Lads,    I reckon it could be a seized Caliper  or a dodgy ABS Sensor,  I've had problems with both in the past !

Cheers,

Jubby
