Sheepy Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Dag Wim,Does he have to pump the pedal to get a brake feeling?Could be air in the system.Are the rear brake shoes adjusted correctly? If they are too far from the drums then the pedal will go down far!Just some ideas for youCheersShaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to ask it at the garage where i go often ^^ two weeks ago a was there and there was a Mini from 1999 ( one of the last ones) a really nice one! in all those years 19.000km original, all service history included , original stone ship and all ! ??)He took me for a drive in it ! and wow that was fun for my first time in a classic mini ;)Kind regards Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Could be faulty contacts, you should speak to the shop where you got it from, they should replacebit if it leaks.Classic mini's, I grew up with them, had lots when I started driving, my dad used to have a mk1 Cooper s, wow that was a great car.CheersShaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
