Hi Guys an Girls (dunno if there are any??) anyway I'm new to the forums, and would firstly like to say a big hello to all :wave:

 

Now to the problem, I have just bought a one man brake bleeding kit from halfords where you pressurize the brake reservoir with the aid of a spare tyre. I have used these systems before with great success, however this time I bled the system air came out due to new copper brake pipes fitted :banana_dance: and a bit of crap. I bled the system twice and the end result was no air or dirt coming out the pipes. Now when I go up and down the drive to test the brakes (not on the road yet I will post in projects soon) the system feels like its still got air in, the pedal feels really spongy and when I pump it up its like there is a leak in the system. I can feel the system loose pressure through the pedal, however there is no fluid leaking from under the car.

 

Has anybody got any ideas, I am a mechanic but have been out of the trade for a while so any help would be appreciated.

 

Many Thanks

 

Kev
