I had some brake pipes changed during the MOT on my 1999 1ltr Hijet
since then the brakes have been poor to say the least.
The mechanic who fitted the pipes needed to replace a pipe manifold where the front and rear brakes split.
Since then I have been working on the system and i discovered that the front calipers had seized into the back plates.
I tried pressing the brake pedal the starting the engine. That did not produce the 'kick back' I expected. In fact the pedal went down.
I bled the system again with an 'easibleed' . There was no air and I got through just under a Litre of fluid.
I will check the back brake drums for excessive shoe wear, but has anyone got any other possibilities?
There has been no fluid loss during normal operation and the vacuum system is working.
