What i dont understand is that before I fitted the lines, the brakes were fine. All i did was drain all the fluid, fit the braided lines and bleed them. multiple times and so did two garages. Im gutted.

the master cylinder I originallly fitted was working fine when i had it on another escort. Then i swapped them back and this has made no difference.

It was a garage that said half the system wasnt working so Im not taking that as gospel!
