I noticed i was leaking brake fluid from below brake res, I searched for just the rubber inserts but no luck.. I picked up a new master cyl, bench bleed the cyl.
installed it in the rig, bleed all four wheels. Now I had good fluid coming out , had a nice firm pedal so I took her for a test drive all was good for bout a mile then all four wheels locked up.. The break pedal was rock hard no movement at all.. No leaks anywhere. To get it home I cracked the lines off of the master cyl, no pressure build up, fluid just leaked out... Stuck no clue now.

Bleed sys as per Rave man..

97 Disco I.. all new brakes, calipers, rotors,

Need any advice.. any where else that should be bleed??

Thanks Chapman

 

You bought a non original Land Rover master cylinder, you cant do that.
For some odd reason after market ones never work on the DI, this happens each and every time.
You need to bite the bullet and buy a Land Rover master cylinder.

 

So Im screwed till I get new one from atlantic british.. No way to make this one work? price not issue, just time was crunched and location at the time... it works for a bit then wam..

Why or what causes them to not operate rite

 

If you can adjust it you can make it work.
How you adjust it I dont know.
If you need it to get to work tomorrow I cant be of much help, sorry.

 

Thanks Spike, I found a donor rover with 54,394 on it with wrecked front end.. brakes felt good on it.. I swapped out it master and so far no problems... I'm waiting for new one to come in... again thanks for the advice...
