• N/A - LFB Left foot braking autos HJ column 15 Oct 2019 (Forum)
    Surely if you have an emergency braking issue both feet are connected to your brain and you react with your favoured foot to the brake peddle. Most people are right handed/right footed and you are hard wired to this. In an emergency you come off the accelerator with the right and onto the brake with the right.

  However after fitting a new battery, all the warning lights above came on again AND the Cannot Apply Parking Brake warning light and constant buzzer warning for this comes on when driving.

• Ford StreetKa - Ford StreetKA brake pedal goes to floor 4 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  Is this normal or do you reckon I’ve been sold a dud? Either way I put the new master cylinder on, bled the brakes again and went for a test drive. The brakes are much more responsive and it doesn’t feel like the pedal creeps half as quickly however I still have the same problem. If I press the brake (with engine running) twice the pedal sits firm about half way, however just once and the pedal creeps down.

  Hi all and hope you can help me as I am desperate. Whilst bleeding the brakes to replace the fluid, I have run into a few problems concerning the rear brake drums. I use a bleeding kit that works off the tyre pressure. I raised the right rear, removed the wheel, unscrewed the bleed screw....no fluid coming out.
