Hi guys.... hope you're all keeping well?
I had to get my 5 out of the garage to do some work in there & I usually just push her out, but as I wanted to turn her round I thought I'd fire the old girl up. I had to sort a stuck floats valve first as their wasn't any fuel getting into the bowl, but once that was done she fired up straight away as usual. (its been a couple of years since she last ran)
Anyway I crept along the driveway & the went to stop to turn round & no brakes.... the pedal went straight to the floor...eek...handbrake stopped me of though.lol.
The pedal goes to the floor regardless of the engine running, so am I right to assume the master cylinder is more than likely goosed? I've never had to change one & the access doesn't look great..... what does with our 5's.lol. Any thoughts guys?
Cheers
