good breaks then not a lot at all
Hi last night I left my dad's pressed the breaks and it went to the floor now it has breaks but at the very bottom. Basically hit the carpet then starts breaking if I press pedel twice fast I have them at the middle any ideas guys
I have checked for fluid leaks nothing tho break fluid is full and if I press pedel twice it holds pressure on Pedel

Re: good breaks then not a lot at all
A full fluid change and good bleed of the system may help but also worthwhile looking at the rear wheel cylinders, can weep and not be noticed. They cost about 8 quid each.

Re: good breaks then not a lot at all
Try running the engine and pump the brake pedal a couple of times then press it hard and keep it pressed, does the pedal slowly go to the floor? If it does its the master cyinder on its way out. This happened to me.
