I put a tacho in a Triumph 2500 last year. It over read like yours is doing. I had to wire a diode into the the wire to the coil in order to cut down the other electrical impulses so it read correctly. I'm not that flash with electricity so the explaination above is a little hazy and I'm afraid I can't remember what rating the diode had. I'd grab a handful of diodes from Dick Smiths and have an experiment

Cheers Man,

Swapped the front hoses and bled the system and the problem seems to be solved.

I've got a pair for the rear too so I might swap those when I change the diff oil this weekend.

I suppose as brake problems go its preferable to have them stuck on rather than off - it was still pretty anoying though

Dashboard restorations in auckland does them too.

Had my old Triumph's dash done by them, looked good, good aftersales service too. Cost was about $750 from memory the dash was more complex than it looked hence the cost.

He's got a mk1 escort dash for approx $400 + gst

Gidday Guys, this is my first post here so I hope you can help.

I've got an Jaguar XJ with a chev V8 in it.

I recently had the brake booster rebuilt as it wasn't working properly. It worked beutifully for about a week, then yesterday the travel on the pedal gradually got shorter and shorter with the brakes slowing the car down.

I managed to get within a couple of metres from my garage before they stuck fast. Couldn't budge it even with the gas pedal halfway down (the brake pedal wouldn't even move at this stage).

I cracked open the front LHS bleed nipple which released some fluid (it sounded like the other brakes released at the same time) This allowed me to get the car into the garage - with minimal brake usage.

It sounds like a problem with the master cylinder rather than the brake booster to me. Any ideas
