Brake pedal to the floor! was created by GuardianAngel
In the last few weeks I have noticed that I am having to push the brake pedal to the floor more to stop. When I push really hard I can feel it coming to a hard stop.

I cant see any evidence of leaking brake fluid, but that's only me looking at the drive way to see if there is any pools of fluid (EDIT: I have just checked the reservoir and its up to the max so no leakages)

Any ideas on what I should check?

Thanks. Is there a guide as to how to check and "unstick" them?

I was also thinking it might be the master cylinder...:-(

Found the How To guide on the site for changing the rear shoes so will give that a go.

Had the same problem this week!

Was the master cylinder. Had it replace (2nd hand one from eBay)

Still having trouble though

So back to the garage
