Default Master Cylinder Replaced, What Next?

Hello, im really happy to be back on landrover forums, i have a 96 landrover disco I that always keeps me guessing! I replaced the master cylinder on friday and now every couple of miles my brakes seize up and I mean, no fwd, no reverse, locked up! I take off the passenger tire and bleed the brake and it will run for a few more miles, is this an air bubble? Any help/prior experience would be appreciated! Many more miles to you all!

It is the master cylinder, you used a non Land Rover one.
For some reason this happens every time.
You need to use a LR master cylinder.

Default One more question please~

Spike, you are referring to the lucas version, or is there another, im in quite a pickle now as id already returned the core.... but I see one online for 50 more than the one i bought at autozone, just wanted to make sure that was the oem, I think I am going to order from British Parts of Utah-Land Range Rover Sport LR4 LR3 LR2 Discovery Defender Freelander Genuine OEM Accessories Parts for 210 bucks plus shipping. Thanks for the heads up!

I do not know which version you need, sorry.
But I think that if you are buying off of a Rover site, like Atlantic British, any one that says OEM would be fine.

I have never used British Utah so I cant say anything about them or their parts.
But I can vouch for Atlantic British and Rovahfarm, Rovers North too.
