Why would the Prius not run on the big battery? I would have thought you
could run around on the electric system and get the motor started up
while moving if the start battery gave up. I don't expect you mean you
went to FLAPS for the big battery to be replaced.
Secondly, how did you know the master cylinder had gone out? On my 115
300D, it went out a couple of years ago. I was at a stop light and the
car moved forward a bit. I thought I must not have had my foot on the
break pedal hard enough but then the light changed and off I went. At
the next light, I stepped on the pedal and the car slowed but not like
it should have. I initially thought I must have blown a hose and there
would be leaking fluid at one of the wheels but that proved not to be
the case. Seals in the master had started to leak and let fluid by. I
messed about getting a kit to repair it but gave up and ordered a new
one (or rebuilt - cannot recall for certain). No problems since.

Thanks, Rick. I'll keep that in mind. Could have used it a couple weeks ago
when the Prius battery died, and then when I headed to the store to buy
groceries, the brake master cylinder went out on the 240D. Managed to limp home
but was without a car until I got the Prius started with a lawnmower battery
and made it down to FLAPS for a new battery.
Now on my way to install the master cylinder which just arrived.

Gerry asks:
Does Prime pay the freight on foodstuffs?
Yes. It's called "Prime Pantry" and they fill a giant box with your "stuff".
BTW, it's peak season for shippers. I try not to order anything online for delivery between
Thanksgiving and New Years day.
