Many thanks for this suggestion Doug. I've had similar problems for a while now. In fact ever since I changed the brake light switch!
Could the original posters problems really be a collapsed hose or sticking brake cylinder/calliper? I would have thought this would only act on the brakes beyond the hose or at the wheel in question. Any expansion due to heating in the rest of the system should just raise the fluid level in the master cylinder or am I (as usual) barking up the wrong tree? If the piston were sticking (or unable to return fully) in the master cylinder then this would cause drag on every brake in the system. Cheers, David -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Braun I had these exact same symptoms a few years ago. The problem turned out to be this: I had fiddled with the brake light switch, and as a result, the brake pedal could not return to its fully-up position. Thus, the connection to the reservoir was cut off, and the fluid in the lines and wheel cylinders had no place to go when it expanded. Your messages not reaching the list?
