Slimg60 0 Posted April 4, 2009 Did the pedal stay on the floor? or did nothing happen when when you pressed the pedal and it returned back up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fullpint 0 Posted April 4, 2009 Did the pedal stay on the floor? or did nothing happen when when you pressed the pedal and it returned back up?It stayed on the floor..Lifted it up with my foot and it just dropped down.. For the pass week I have had to pump the pedal and it seems to get stuck about half-way down..After about 5 mins of pumping it did work!! Add this to my cold tick over problem it means starting off is a REAL BIG problem :confused4: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you carried on driving it when you clearly had a major hydraulic issue! :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted April 5, 2009 The slave cylinder isn't expensive, and is quite an easy fix, I think the master cylinder is a bit more pricey and more difficult to get to but still not a major job. Try going on GSF or similar and looking them up :dorky: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
