Brakes failed Tonight

Mark_Dj

Just nipped out to the garage for some fuel and as I was coming up to a roundabout and the brakes went on me :shock: , I put my foot on the brake as normal but the pedal seemed to drop further down notsure.gif . It was ok again on my way back home, I hope it does not happen again :?

Strange one. You didnt undo any hoses did you? Wont make any diff if its over the max line (mine is 🙂 ) Did you have the cap on when pushing the pistons back in? Did you press the brake plenty of times when you replaced the pads? :?

I took the cap off when I did both sets of pads, I probably did not pump them enough when I finished the rear pads notsure.gif . I never took any hoses off at all. The brakes were mint when I finished them, they have been good all day yesterday and most of today til tonight just before what..
