Albert 888 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 On hols with the mrs and the disco1 has got serious brake issues and now a puncture. Where is the nearest repair place to sort my tyre please. And the main problem is my brakes arnt working after I broke a rear brake line. Repaired the line and bled up but brakes but need pump the peddle to get the brakes to work, I have bleed both sides rear still loosing peddle going to bleed the front up next. Checked vaccume pipes seem ok and pump is sucking air. Any ideas before the mrs gets fed up. Cheers Albert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert 888 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Cheers for the offers of help again. In the end I found the wheel beering had collapsed, so we went home on the back of an AA truck. After stripping the front hub down found the locking nuts had not been put on correctly,so the bearing had collapsed also the innner caliper pistons had seized,so causing the brake peddle to fail as it was re centralizing the hub assembly every time I used the brakes. All back together now and working correctly. Thanks again Albert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I will probably get told off for saying this but should you not have had it serviced before you went of on holiday in it perhaps you would not have had these problems if you had.

Albert 888 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 The car is well serviced. Changing the oils aint going to pick up a fault of shoddy workmanship. And if I left it on my drive and never drove it it wouldnt have gone wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
