Good solid feedback, many thanks, will consider them for sure.
Tinkered under the hood , relocating some relays etc.
Went for a drive before to grab a pizza and after taking off I had NO brakes. The pedal was stiff as a post ! I shit my pants. I was onto that pedal like a rash, I'm pretty sure i nearly dislodged my seat mounts ... And nothing ! She was not dropping anchors ... Lucky I didn't get up to speed . Clutch worked fine , so I initially thought it can't be vacuum related.
Then it dawned on me I did take a vacuum hose off earlier to measure diameter and it never went back on... Idiot !
This was my first vacuum less experience ...
I was not aware that brakes relied THIS much on vacuum boosting power ? I thought a Bit more extra foot on the pedal will apply enough pressure without vacuum.

Scary stuff I hear you too Hodgey mate!
Accidentally bumped off a tiny say 2mm rubber cap near the vacuum cannister tinkering last year out bush. Vacuum system checks has now moved up quite high on my daily’s out there, packed my dacks on one hill good and proper :-)

Had to drive in the bike lane ended up in 1st with the handbrake up and still didn't come to a complete stop, last straw was to shut down the engine. Popped the bonnet and the screw part of the clamp was on the wrong side of the cable...

Plenty of go but no whoa!! Did you try and pump the pedal? Did it have any noticeable effect?Quote:

I really don't know. I was hoping you did it so you could tell us if it worked, or not. You could be brave and try it again and let us know the outcome. :driving2:Quote:
