Master cylinder is away, had this on a renault 5 many years ago, drove ok for a while then the pressure would leak through from the cylinder and lock the brakes......

Another option.

Flexible brake hose has broken down internally and is acting like a
one way valve.

Rare.. but can happen.

And in my defence I WILL reply to any old thing at the moment...

Perhaps I should resurrect a load of old threads to get my count up?
I'll do it at Easter.... Keep it to a seasonal theme....

Only way to stop being a ROOKIE! :angry:
