Don't know why my interior brake light didn't work. Pushing each of the two manual "testers" worked. When I do the MC I'll have to play with the reservoir and try to clean it out. Does the booster...

85 300D Brake Failure

Pretty much a total failure. Pedal has been low for a while but today it went just about to the floor before any brake action took place, a lot of effort required, to the "scared-as-hell" stage....

I'll try one more bleed. I have the Motive thing but maybe I'll just ask my wife to do a pump-n-dump with me this time around. Pedal holds steady once the brakes are applied.

I found that BJ Wholesale club guys and gals are great too, torque sticks and clicker wrenches. Unhappily, not much selection tire-wise and I like to use some odd-ball tires once in a while.
