The brakes on my 98 90 weren't very good, rears didn't work at all so changed the calipers new pads now they work but poor overall , so changed front disks, pads, and calipers , no air in the system as brakes are at the top and hard , still nowere near as good as they were a year ago . Can anyone give me any idea were to go from here as the bill is mounting up, on first name terms with Paddocks

I have got the same experience as you bud, so when you find out let us know. I had drums on the rear, so i changed the axle to discs & i have changed the front discs and pads on friday but they still aint great. Would the brake servo make a difference?? Or a fluid change??

craig_midz:
i had a leak on the brake vac pipe so effectivly i was brakin with next to no servo had a new master an servo fitted an complete flush of all brake fluid with new an now it will stop instantly  :lol:

tack43:
Sounds like vac pump is u/s.

stevelandy:
update ! pinched the servo off my mates landy same model , no difference, checked the vacume both felt the same. the only thing left is the master cylinder and the equlizer valve, anyone had trouble with the valve , can't see any reason in changing the master as there's no leaks unless anyone knows different .
