Is the handbrake on?


Sorry couldnt resist It is odd though, may it be something to do it though, say if he was tightening the handbrake or whatever, and went too far?!

never takes this long long iv done it a few times...

we took the pipes off the back of the calipers and nothing coming from them
but we have fluid at the T junction on the back so narrowed the problem to
the short pipes but its strange for them both be become f**ked at the same time is it not??

The T piece must be blocked.
