If its not one thing!....

[SAF_Capri]

Near to the final stages of getting my car on the road, and well to say im fed up is an understatement,..should be a time of joy, but if its not a leaky carb, its a dodgy fan, or mbe snags or jkust any blooming thing!!...now those jobs are done, the breaks wont bleed!!!!

 

 

so please before i close the garage door for a month or six why wont my brakes bleed?? its a capri mk3 pedal box, and new lines, there are no leaks and the system will gravity drain so i get fluid at all points, but cant get a pressure build up to bleed them! whats wrong?

 

please help, rant over.

i have this problem with my mk5 cortina

 

easy solution if you can get hold of the said tool

 

i think it was just a pressure tester anyway they screwed it tight onto my brake resevoir pot pumped it up cracked the rear brake nipple open and hey presto best pedal ever it was a local garage who did it and they did it free it was that quick

 

the problem is in the master cylinder letting air in as your trying to pump it out
