Morning all, had a search but can't find an answer to an issue I'm having.
As part of restoring my van I have refreshed the whole brake setup - new hard and soft lines, new master cylinder, new rear drums and front calipers rebuilt.
Had the new system filled with fluid but wouldn't bleed so took to the local garage who diagnosed a faulty master cylinder. They replaced this (with one I sourced) and they have re-bled the system and are getting pressure pedal with the fronts isolated by clamping flexis, but pedal to the floor as soon as the fronts are released.
They have suggested faulty calipers as the system is holding pressure and braking the rears. Before I get new calipers, can anyone who knows more than me offer any thoughts on whether it sounds likely?
Thanks!!
