Brakes Problems
 

it would apeer that ash and myself are in a similar boat though i think i have found the problem a wheeping seep around the brake push rod

i have posted a pic of the master cylinder if someone can conferm its origin i think its sierra but having not got a doner car as such i cannot garentee it

i just keep getting air out of the bleed screws after putting litre after litre of oil threw it and there are no leaks at any joints as far as i can tell so i think it must the the seel around the plunger....your thoughts???

That looks the same as mine, which came from a sierra donor that flyerncle & i stripped.

As Spud has mentioned on Ash,s brake thread, he found the seal (closest to the pedal box) between the resevoir & the M/C was weeping, very very slightly, swapped it for the one from my donor solved the problem.

I believe you can get a seal kit to replace all the seals , tho a new M/C can be bought for about £30 if speed is the essence.

Who stripped it ?:rolleyes:

See you 2moro :p

Problem with seal kit is bore may be rusty/scored due to water in fluid through lack of fluid changes

any ideas were i can get a replacement rarther pronto????

i,ve just been re checking & found this one aswell, its for a bendix fitting, which looks the same as mine, item number 190368716132

i think this is more likely to be the one you need.

i typed into the search for a "sierra master cylinder " & a few came up.

hope this helps.

chears andy il have to look into those

Most sierra Calipers are ATE Teves, but that may have no bearing on the master cylinder.

TT

wonder if its worth giving the scrappies a ring in the morning see if they have any sierra in the yard
