Whole thing is one big rot box. Really want to change the body but the chassis I’ve had to repair in places too so there’s no point. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Dentressangle Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I had the same trouble with my D1 brakes. Ended up bleeding them again really thoroughly with a helper slamming the pedal down, which seems to have sorted the problem. I'm guessing there's an air trap somewhere in the front circuit.

Mine did similar, brand new rear crossmember (that was fitted and rust treated brand newby a classic car specialist) went from brand new to complete collapse and pulling lumps of it out by hand in less than 5!

I tried that with the Eazibleed(more out of frustration than anything) but it made no difference.But it was better than the pressure bleeder which wasn't clearing the air out properly.I'll have another try if swapping vac pump and servo doesn't sort it.Thankfully I don't have the triple bleed nipple set up being a later model.

sutty2006 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 All my bleed nipples are seized and rounded off, plus some of the pistons look abit dodgy. It’ll be calipers for me when I start having issues with brakes. 💪🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the van Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Minor update,it appears the new m/cylinder I fitted is faulty.Leaking out the back which explains the slowly sinking brake pedal.Rimmers sending replacement but I'm stuck with the same aftermarket type,OEM are obsolete now ffs.
