80 series brake problem

Post by **crazy eyez** » Thu Aug 09, 2012 2:26 pm

i have a 96 model 80 series petrol auto and for some reason it has started to have a intermitent brake problem . Some times the brakes are fine then for some reason the peddle will go almost to the floor and then it will lock up the rear brakes . Let your foot of then reaply the brakes and it will be normal again . I have replaced the master cylinder and it still has the same problem . does anyone have any ideas wat it might be ?

cheers crazy eyes

Check your front wheel bearings

Guess you already have but maybe check your proportioning valve? If its leaking bad could be a cause of the symptoms your describing

there are no leeks but there is a chance that it is seizing internaly so i will be checking the wheel bearings then the proprtioning valve may have to put a kit threw it ..I hope not as they are painfull

thanks for the ideas guys but if anyone else has any ideas plz put them up..

i had the same prob in my 80 ,
& it was the prop/valve leaking
but i also had a couple of siezed pistons so its always good to check...
