Braks

[eurorover]

Any one had problems with the brakes on their BRM? I got an intermitant problem with mine about once a week when you break the pedle just goes to the floor. any ideas?

Could be air in the pipes is the pipes is the fluid fill to the top line ???

[eurorover]

yes new fluid and full

What kind of problem do you get? Is it like a juddering feel through the pedal?

[eurorover]

pedal just goes to the floor then 10 mins later all fine

Must be an air lock somewhere I would've thought.......

Or maybe incorrect brake fluid or a sticking calliper. I'm running out of ideas as its a very strange problem i've not heard of before.

[eurorover]

tell me about it i am running out of ideas too!

try re-bleeding the breaks. basicly start at the begining and work your way through and hopefull come up with a result. Just keep us up to date and we will help the best we can.

strangly enough i had the same problem. once in a while there were just no brakes at all. i've never got round to finding out what it was but it seems to have sorted itself out. if it doesn't sort itself on your try either bleeding or check the vacuum pipes to the brake servo.

will be looking at it the weekend. starting to put it down to a sticking pad or caliper as the car had been off the road for 2 yeard b4 i got it. but will keep u all up to date
