running problems

[bmcecosse]

If the fluid had gone down - it must have leaked out, or one or more cylinder pistons have stuck 'out'. So remove each drum in turn - check for leaks and sticking cylinder - and adjust up if all ok. Hopefully you didn't use the hopeless 'pattern' cylinders.... Top tip is to use a blob of red rubber grease (ebay) in each cylinder.

Good news on the running. As above, brakes are rather important. but probably best to start a new thread rather than posting it under "running problems". If you changed all the cylinders then you will need to thoroughly blled the whole system. This will lsoe fluid, and it is essential to top up with fluid as you go.
