Has anyone any ideas regarding a problem that I have with my brakes ......... my Series V came without the servo unit fitted, it had evidently been faulty and so the previous owner removed it and by-passed it, but kindly left it in the boot when I bought it. I have never actually got round to fitting a service kit to it and then putting it back in the brake system, the brakes have always responded well and it has always been one of these jobs that I will get round to eventually!! However having not used the car for the last 18 months due to ill health, I rolled her out of the garage at the weekend and guess what ... the brakes are playing up and sticking on at the rear!! So I jack her up and eventually manage to remove the rear hubs and find that both rear wheel cylinders are gunked and messed up and one is solid!
So I decide to bite the bullet and invest in a pair of new Girling rear wheel cylinders and proceed to fit them and bleed the system. Guess what ... the brakes come on but still seem to take for ever to release. An old friend said that it might be the pull-off springs that have stretched and got tired over the last 40 years?
Does anyone have any ideas?????????????????????
After 18 months being unable to get behind the wheel I'm desperate!!!
