Nightmare .Spent hours replacing the clutch ratchet on the car. Fine works great.Now no brakes!!!!! brake pedal goes to the floor.
I think something is missing off the brake pedal but cannot see anything except the spring clip.
Any ideas welcomed.

hi, welcome to the site
when you say you spent hours fittiing the racket, did you remove/bend/break anything, apart from the part that you were replacing, my other thought is you may have a leaking rear wheel brake cylinder, look under the rear of your car at the inside of your rear brakes, it shoud be dry, also check all your flexi brake pipes, front and rear, while your doing this look at the brake pipes under the car, everything should be dry, then check the servo unit under the bonnet for leaks,

Hi Tommy, No the hydraulics are dry and perfect. Servo is working I remember taking a clip of the rod that sticks through the brake pedal and taking off the small grey plastic tube under the clip and as far as I am aware it went back together as it came out. Logic tells me there is a part missing but I cannot see anything that is left over.

Thanks

peter
