The light is turned on when the electrical sensor on the pads is grounded,

normally by contacting the rotor. Maybe the insulation on the lead on the

sensor is broken and allowing it to ground to the frame? Also, there is a

brake fluid level sensor, although I am not certain if that illuminates the

break wear indicator or the parking brake indicator, but it`s worth checking

your fluid level.

I found where the problem is...



It`s not the master cylinder.



The brake fluid tank consists of two separate compartments - one for the

front and one for the rear wheels. The two compartments communicate via very

small orifice close to the upper wall of the tank. In order to get fluid to

the second compartment one must fill the front compartment TO THE TOP and

even to tilt and shake the tank, and to repeat this several times until the

rear compartment is also full. Then the bleeding of the rear well can

continue.



I read about the bleeding procedure in several books but nowhere was even

mentioned that one must maintain the tank always full to the top.



Well, now I have my brakes again and a spare master cylinder in very good

condition.







Thanks



Dimi

________________________________________________











After replacement of brake lines, I tried to bleed the system but after some

pumps on the brake pedal, at rear caliper starts to come out only air

regardless how long I pump.



Finally, I found that the problem seems to be in the master cylinder (made

by ATE). From the front line (secondary master cylinder) its pump only air,

whereas the rear line seems to be in order. There wasn`t any resistance on

the brake pedal.



I disassembled the master cylinder but inside it`s looked like brand-new. I

also tried a bench bleeding however, without success.



I suspected that the small valve on the front of the piston (that is

supposed to release the fluid to the secondary cylinder?) somehow doesn`t

work even so that this valve also looks good. I tried to flush it with brake

fluid but without any effect.



Meanwhile a friend told me that with his 300E has happen the same.

Therefore, it seems not to be an isolate case.



I ordered already a replacement master cylinder but I`m still curious where

exactly is the problem and could it be repaired?



Any ideas?

We cannot go any further into our dissection of last week’s omnibus without first reflecting on the biggest OMG moment to happen in the ‘Oaks for a long while.

Oh yes, just when we’d lost faith and were lamenting the shitness of Hollyoaks of late, it unleashes something so marvellous that we almost choked on our mid afternoon bacon sandwich with joy:

ELI IS BACK!!!!

When Newt stopped taking his anti-schizo pills last week we warned that only the return of our fave fro’d alter ego would make this particular plot reoccurrence worth our time and happily the Hollyverse agreed. Only a brief appearance of the imaginary one – right at the end, as paranoid android Newt gibbered behind a fence – but that was enough. Insanity is back in the village. Let the good times roll!

hollyoaks: the movie

Yah, last week’s ‘Oaks was a veritable tsunami of a film student moment – and a very ambitious one at that, with a twisty turny plot that switched (sometimes confusingly) between flashbacks of the young ‘uns ill-fated trip to the woods and its present day repercussions, a whodunnit and a fancy Wizard of Oz motif. Two thumbs fresh.

Sobre Mercedes

Hoje faleceu umas das cantoras que na minha opinião fora um dos ícones mais importantes da cultura latino-americana.

Mercedes Sosa, foi uma de minhas trilhas sonoras que começou na infância, quando viajava de carro com meus pais escutando sua obra no toca-fitas, e segue até hoje.

Pra quem não conhece Sosa, a cantora foi Embaixadora da Boa Vontade da UNESCO para a América Latina e o Caribe. Ganhou o Grammy Latino em 2003  e em 2006 . Uma de suas composições foi incluída na trilha-sonora do filme Che e seu último álbum encontra-se indicado a três prêmios do Grammy Latino.

Deixo aqui uma de minhas músicas favoritas.  Sosa e Milton Nascimento “Volver A Los 17″
