While driving the other day, all was fine. Suddenly the pedal goes to the floor! I pull over using the hand brake. I fool around in a open parking lot and the problem persist momentarily then suddenly dissappears. Now the brakes seem fine.
After limping home (with no more problems) I can see no obvious issues (i.e. plenty of brake fluid, no leaks or wetness anywhere including the m/c). Although, I am probably over due in replacing the brake fluid. Also, when I say the pedal went to the floor, it wasn't like I was stepping on air, but my braking power probably went down to about 25%. Clearly it is time for some brake work, but how much and where to start? Is it possible for the m/c to fail intermittently? signed lucky |
