Ordered a new master cylinder, so we'll see after that.

The American guys recommend changing the MC if the fluid hasn't been changed within three years. Failure is a common problem in these circumstances over there.

Right well i've just driven it around the block and when the brake pedal is released there is no extra travel if I attempt to hook my foot under the pedal and pull it higher, so I'm guessing all is ok in that area.

Am I wrong? Is there more to it?

So is there a separate return spring on the pedal?

Before the bus was taken off the road for restoration there was NOTHING wrong with the brake system as I drove it every day. Since it being stood for 2 years with no brake use, all these issues have arisen so I don't know how the pedal travel can have altered? I'll read the post and see what u can l...

'Replaced flexi pipes.'

Yup!!! Ok let's clear this up...

NEW ITEMS..calipers, pistons, piston seals (both), slider seals, flexi hoses, bleed screws, fluid (completely bled through 1.5 litres).

So what's left that can cause this as this is my everyday bus and it's now really p@@@g me off!

Sliders are fine, I copper greased them when I replaced all the seals. They slide perfectly. When I say stuck on, what I mean is they release, but not far enough so they're always stuck to the disc and consequently wherever I go the front wheels are untouchably hot. Not good. If I release the bleed ...

Quick overview: Journey to Bala, both front brakes stuck on. Replaced both front calipers, bleed screws, pads, seals, fluid flushed and replaced etc. Journey to local shop, both brakes stuck on. Replaced flexi pipes. Journey to parents house, 20 mins tops, both brakes stuck on AGAIN. Is it the maste...

Hey peeps,

What thread size are the brake unions? The bits you tighten into the caliper?

Thanks

Fabulous news!!

Thought i'd add to this thread, it's great seeing what people have done to their vans. Ok, so as we bought her from biker mike on here.. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5157/14570515125_1a04471583.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3901/14384060447_98d4671150.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5584/1...

See attachment, I'd say these are the most popular clocks for us non-revvy people. Everyone agree?

Any news on the non rev counter version of these yet guys?

Hey peeps, Since I swapped out the coolant my temp gauge has been acting very strangely. Yesterday on a run I stayed at a steady 55mph and the temp gauge was just at the top of the cold block, then it raised to nearly middle and then back down to the cold blok again within a five minute period after...

Well I cleaned the earth point in the engine compartment and it's made no difference whatsoever. Any ideas?

E D I T : And i mean no difference when the trailer is disconnected. The lights are still dim.

It's the same either side or with hazards. If you put the brakes on they dim when indicators flash.
