Re: brakes help asap

The brakes are split diagonally, so you can't have lost just the fronts, in theory. What state are the pads in?, are the calipers moving OK?

Get back to me

Cheers

Did you check the calipers are moving OK. If you have fitted new pads and the caliper is stuck then that would cause a problem.

Is the pedal hard, or does it go to the floor?

Cheers

Re: brakes help asap

your problems sound simular to mine, little or no front brakes and having to pump to stop hard

i replaced the servo and M/C with 1 from a scrappy, replacing the servo and M/C is a right pain, the gearbox is in the way, but lots of kicking a screaming gets it in... i'm hoping for you that it isnt that.
