i bled them again yesterday (using ezibleed) and theyre better, but not as amazing as i rememebr them being after i 1st sorted em out...

i bled thru approx 3 quarters of a litre of dot4. and the fluid was last changed a few months ago (for brand new dot4)

not all of the brake lines are braided either...

it dont bother me too much coz the brakes are still very good, but if theres something obvious worth checking then i wanna check it... just incase

ideas?

if they are new discs and pads they will feel a bit spongy at first till you bed them in

i put st170 fronts on my escort and they felt crap at first but i can stop on a sixpence now

na the discs n pads have been on there a while... they still got a fair bit of meat on em tho...

the rears are shitty old discs n pads tho

air lock?

Jim Galbally

chrissy, when i changed the discs n pads i killed the master cyl when bleeding

i now have on there one i got from the scrappy...

doesnt appear to be leaking... ie no sign of brake fluid on the outide... also when i was using the ezibleed i couldnt see any fluid seeping from anywhere... it apreared pressure tight

Jim Galbally

also how do you get an airlock mr. m? (serious q, not being sarcastic) as i thought that bleeding god rid of airlocks

Zetec Andy

i dont fookin know it was just a suggestion ive never blead my brakes

Chrissy_bwoy

you wouldnt neccasarily see it leaking to atmosphere in that it passes past the internals and leaks back into the reservoir

had it on my bros golf master cylinder change all is good

not summit u wanna scrimp on brakes imo

Bleed it properly, get a mate to help you. Ezibleed isn't the best method imo, as you are using pressurised air to help bleed the system.....
