It became "perfect" when I use the easybleed on top. Now I am waiting for my wife to push the pedal when I take a closer look to the drums to convince that everything is proper. Do not understand what happened still. If you replaced the brake pipe over the diff you would have had a airlock Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But i never had any problems to bleed brakes and clutch And wonder why this is such an issue on the TR6. More snd more I‘m convinced the TR4A is the best of all TRs. luckily I made this choice!!!

Quote More snd more I‘m convinced the TR4A is the best of all TRs For me this is wishful thinking. The truth is, that none of the TR-familiy is a "good" car. Every model has its own proplems. And many problems the Family shares. I like that. If I want a "good" car I would go for a Toyota. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Due that lost of brakefluid, not that much, that put a stopper on the pipe. Thats all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

reginald Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hi You could check that the tilt valve in the master cylinder is seating correctly ,I had one that was stuck open And no peddle. Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casar66 Posted December 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 How you would check the tilt valve? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reginald Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Hello Sorry for delay in replying The Tiping valve is in the master cylinder, the attached PDF may help, if its attached ,I think you need to remove the reservoir to see it Richard Brake+Overview+&+Theory(1).pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 I asked my club mate, but this lucky guy does not remember the problem (he us younger than me!). Richard‘s post brings back in my mind he told me (10 years ago?), it was the tipping valve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nigelcurry Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Can I jump in with a question,as I read the replies to our friends questions, having just refitted my master cylinder only one compartment seems to be filling up,do I just add more fluid until it enters the second compartment! nige Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Yes Nige, that’s correct. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harbottle Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Be carefull Nige, it is easy to miss the rear part an spill the fluid onto body work. Plenty of rags just in case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
