Ok, so I was in racks car last week, and she complained car had no power when she was driving. We stopped at set of traffic lights and then went to pull away. At this point the car would barely move without flooring the accelerator.
So we pulled over, jacked up the car. After some messing about, it was clear NSF wheel was seized, and not moving. So got on a bus, went home and picked up my Corsa c's front Calipers. By the time we got back the car had cooled down, and was now freely moving again. At this point it was assumed a sticky caliper piston, so changed both Calipers anyway with new PAds and discs. I then went to local garage to have brakes bled.
Whilst I was there, they were pumping pedal in front of me, and no fluid was coming out NSF bleed nipple, even after removing it completely. I pointed out that previous owner had changed fronton flexi hose on other side but not this side. I picked up another hose, just incase it had collapsed inside.
Now just had a call from garage saying they've clamped all 4 brake hoses and still can't get a firm pedal no matter what they try.
Any ideas? We agreed next step seems to be changing master cylinder, but they don't often go wrong.
Thanjs
