Brake help needed

griller · 10th February 2009, 11:57

Hi. Just had new NSF brake pipe fitted. Brakes seem ok after bleeding but I am now getting brake pedal fade. Engine off brake pedal is solid, engine on if I push the pedal hard and keep it pressed then the pedal creeps down.Garage says it's master brake cylinder.Any suggestion before I spend a fortune on a new one as I didn't notice a problem before I had this work done.?

Thanks T-Cut. I just phoned the main dealer down here in cornwall and their service manager says on the diesel 75 because it uses a vacuum rather than servo they do tend to do this.

This isn't a diesel only issue. All brake servos are vacuum powered. The diesel uses a vacuum pump instead of manifold depression. The guy is talking flim-flam!

Aint cut'n'paste wunderful!
