R2D2:
Hello again,  brakes on a D plate 110 ex MOD 3 door 2.5 n/a diesel


Was a soft top now a station wagon,  we've changed the rear offside hub seal and the rear brake shoes also the brake master cylinder/reservoir,and now cannot get brake peddle pressure.

Have bled all wheels 2/3 times but still have half peddle travel before brakes work. Are we missing something or not doing in the right sequence perhaps?

Any advice gratefully received.

Cheers

V8MoneyPit:
Is the pedal 'spongy'? Or firm, but just low?

Spongy pedal = air in hydraulic system
Low pedal = mechanical issue

If you've replaced pads, I would try driving it for a while. I have found that the pedal comes up as the pads settle in. Strange, but this has happened on more than one occasion.

billy badger:
Sounds like the springs may have been fitted in the wrong position.

Axetamer:
Did you prime the master cylinder before fitting?
