Brake Repair - pressure problem
Hi. Seeking some guidance please.
2001 Disco2 good shape generally.
Front left brake line corroded through near the flex line connection. Replaced hard line and flex line. All good. No leaks.
While messing with brakes figured I would replace master cylinder, it looked old and rusty, brakes were never great.
Installed and seems OK. Primed the new master cyl by loosening the 2 lines and stepping on pedal. Bled 4 corners with hand vac pump. Replaced bleed screws.
With the car off the brake pedal is solid and has good pressure. With car on, pedal is soft and goes to the floor. Brake light on. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
