I have played around with my brakes a lot trying to get them to work. Replaced front caliper and ABS but no fluid flowing to any calipers....

In the end I ran out of time and patience so took the car to Corin as he has a T4 to do the job correctly (master cylinder replaced now). Today I held the brake on whilst sitting at lights and noticed NO SPP (pressing the peddle harder then needed to hold the car stationary) .......... Was just a quick thought that went through my mind when I was sitting at the lights.

I will try to remember to do a more thorough check when I next use the car which may be a week or two.

Can't imagine where the fluid can be going? 2 thoughts...
1/ Master cylinder is leaking fluid passed the seals (old escort did this before it lost brakes completely)
2/ Air in the ABS secondary cct and fluid is seeping passed the ABS valves letting the peddle fall.

Brake fluid does not compress so it must be going somewhere!
