I'm after a brake master cylinder. Do any forum members have one kicking
about in their stockpiles of spares. Obviously costs will be covered, Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll feel safer when the van stops better and the pedal doesn't slowly sink to the floor when braking. :horror:

The pedal sinking to the floor may well not be a master cylinder problem. It could be leaking/seized calipers or brake cylinders. If you need them they are still available new from Ledbury. Also worth checking is the vacuum pump if it is a diesel and also the vacuum pipes for leaks.

I'm afraid in this case it is. there is break fluid leaking at the joint of the master cylinder and servo, the seals or bore of the cylinder have gone. Does the club hold any spares?

Sadly we don't have a servo / master cylinder in stock. Have a search through the forum for the address of the Ledbury garage - they should have one.
