Dammit in reply to @Hefty

What @diable says is fair, but is it really worth risking it? Maybe if you were looking at a £300 recovery bill, but the AA will do it for nothing more than a bit of time and hassle.

How much of a tit will you feel if you crash it because the brakes don't work?

What if you hit someone?

Well it looks like Southern Railways have taken the matter out of my hands - they're on strike tomorrow so I would not be able to get back, therefore I think I'll be calling the AA at lunchtime to come and get it.

To me sounds like it's loosing fluid. Or less crash inducing but prob more £££ the master is pushing fluid past the piston seal, I.e. It's not pushing the fluid as hard as it should. Or it could be leaking past the master into an orifice someplace or into the booster, so you might not find where the fluid is going but it will still be disappearing. Takes lots of pedal pumps to empty most resivoirs.

In brick news..... Hubs and how to bend them. Bearings are perfect, but whole flange is just bent enough to cause brake problems again le sigh
