No Brakes!!

[LJ]

Noticed the brakes have been getting steadily worse recently and now are pretty dangerous so unable to drive it AGAIN
When i press the brakes i can here air escaping, is the master cylinder gone??

There shouldn't be any air in the system matey. You should try bleeding the brakes, and also look at all the pipe's going to the servo as this has vac pipe's going to it.

Also check the brake fluid for level and colour, if it's gone black that could be a sign of seal failure.

Sounds like the servo pipe LJ, But only thing is normally that causes the car to run like a sack of poo. :lol:

Is the ABS ok as i have just unhooked mine today and i feel like im pushing a brick wall with my pedal. :roll:

I had a master cylinder go on another car before and what happend was the brake pedal slowly got closer to the floor over a week until it was on the floor and I had no brkaes. The was no fluid leak, so I guess it was all leaking past the seals internally in that case.
