Chrome_GT Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 The brake pedal in the mini stays at the normal 'brakes on' position. It won't return back by itself. I have to lift the pedal with my toes to release the brakes Anyone had similar problems before. It happened overnight so I'm thinking something mechanical had broken, slipped loose, or something. -Have checked rear brakes for adjustment, will check fronts. -Have had a quick look under dash at the pedal spring, pretty hard to see but nothing obviously wrong - will check front wheel cylindars when i have the front wheels off -Checked fluid - will check master cylindar but thats the last thing I want to do. - considering bleeding the brakes but i don't really think thats what's wrong. Any suggestions? I need to drive my cheap to run car again. Two weeks of using the Capri everyday is getting costly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burntrubber Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Will be the master cylinder sticking or broken spring. My booster had a broken spring did the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
