Ok ladies and gents.....
Just got back form a rather successful tour round the Dobson, Mackauley, and Goodley river/valley systems from thursday last week...
Just been driving back from town and had to jump on the brakes pretty quick for someone that decided to turn right without indicating... sigh... no worries on the stopping bit ( well, as well as the brakes have preformed before... which were not very effective, never been able to lock the wheels)
BUT... next time I stopped I 'felt' something 'like a pop' for want of a better word through the pedal.... I did not hear anything and the brakes are now pretty much non existent... they start to bite and then the pedal continues to travel to the bottom with not very much happening on the stopping side of things....
There does not seem to be any visible leakages etc ... But when it comes to brakes I tend to leave that side of things to people that do brakes for their living if you get my drift....
Its one thing to be able to move forward but its another thing entirely to stop !!
So any ideas as to where to start on the fault finding.. My first thought is master cylinder.... ??!?!
Sigh... this money was earmarked for a snorkel.. bugger!!!:headwall:
I'm off to visit the search bar spanner in hand
Help!
