brakes....

ok, 1984 110, pushing the brake pedal once gets the little valve thing shutting off the rear circuit so only the front brakes do anything and the little warning lamp comes on. However pushing the pedal again will turn the lamp off and the brakes work fine. Does this sound like an airlock thing? There is a new brake line going to the rear, does it sound like it wasn't bled properly? it's not using any fluid.

if it's in the haynes then I'll find it. is that to lock it so you can bleed the system?

Its a cunning plan to ensure the shuttle doesn't think there is a leak so it remains centred.

What it actually sounds like is the rear brakes need adjusting - but an airlock would have the same effect. JD
