I know this hard to beleive...

[escort21]

but my capri has fallen to bits again ...brake pedal goes down slowly until it hits the floor but pumps up ok so i can stop ......diagnosis...brake master cylinder?....ideas please.....

[GT_Jim]

sounds like air in the system could just need a bleed

[john_3.0s]

if its suddenly gone its sounds like the master cyliner. Give the system a good bleed and check the wheel cylinders and front calipers for leaking fluid. if it all looks ok and assuming all the pipework and all the unions are nice and dry then its more than likely ya master cylinder. You can get repair kits but personally i normally change the whole thing esp if its 20 odd years old. good luck bud

check rear wheel cylinders. sounds like ones leaking.
