<< < (2/3) > >>

WOW cheers Simon, that sounds like it might be the problem. The rear callipers are from the front axle of a 410, and they are at about 10 o'clock as you look at them on the hub (the front ones are on the top as i assume these were on the last vehicle). seems to make sense that there might be air ABOVE the bleeb nipples on one or more of the rear callipers. cant beleive i didnt think of that, and ill try and check it out soon.

thats why i love this forum, you can learn loads.


thanks mate, ill post here when i find if it has helped or not.


ps. would that account for the hissing sound from the front do you know? hope so!

generation-x:
no probs mate its a common thing with the rear disc conversion
as for hissing do you no were its comin from?

the sound seems to be coming from around the master cylinder/brake fluid reservoir area, when you depress the brake pedal. sounds like a bicycle pump. im hoping its just another symptom of what i hope is the AIR problem. im sure they didnt make that sound before, but ill post after i get a chance to re bleed the callipers.

cheers again mate.

Evilgoat:
Duff servo?

Might just be normal servo noise too and thus a red herring. Rabbit's brakes were like this for some time until I had bled them about 3 times.

cheers for all the help, after moving the rear callipers and bleeding them in the correct position the problem is a lot better. still not right though, im thinking the master cylinder might be fecked. However one of the rear callipers is grabbing, but not releasing properly. Gunna take it to a mechanic mate of mine who did the SPOA for me, hopefully he can diagnose for me.

Unfortunately now its not starting, so although ive just replaced the solenoid on the starter, looks like something else has broken, lol

oh well never give up, its a learning experience...
