Brakes saga Part 365

Typically British weather this morning - cold and raining so I froze my
b*llocks for several hours while fitting a new master cylinder, new flex
lines and bled the system (took ages to bleed it, couldn't get any real flow
from the thing). Stopped for some lunch and walked out into bright
sunshine - temperature must have been up by 10 degrees.

However, the new parts haven't made a great difference to the brakes. OK,
the pedal doesn't hit the floor, but it didn't do that everytime with the
old MC. Still got the odd pedal - just as the car is coming to a stop it
drops further (feels like an inch but is probably only 1/4). I'm going to
run another litre of fluid through the system tomorrow - see if that sorts
it.


Regards,
