Oriskany Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Today we were returning from a trip out and following a country road when I braked - and the brake pedal literally fell through about half of its travel. Luckily the car did brake and seemed to have regained the correct travel the next time I touched the brake. I tried it again several times and the brakes seemed ok - I was trying to tell whether one diagonal circuit had failed. When we got home I checked and no lost fluid - what do you think? Thanks. Update - just looked at all 4 corners - no sign of any leaks and pedal is firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Possibly ABS kicking in if you were on loose ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought as braking systems don't usually fail and then spontaneously get better again. Cheers. I remember owning an MG Midget MkII (1965) when I was very young - very badly maintained - one day I pressed the brake and the rotten cross-rear axle brake line burst leaving me with no brakes at all - got home at a very slow speed using engine braking and the handbrake. No servo either. I'm glad times have moved on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
