Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 They all do that sir - rear brake cylinder

Don't stress out, using dot3/dot4 Wouldn't be that much difference. I drained all the fluid out & used dot 3..touch wood all is fine & now i can push the mog around easily. I want to enjoy it without repairs before sending it off to the factory for upgrades this summer.

Just coming home yesterday, doing about 50 mph, I go to slow for traffic and the brake pedal goes to the floor without stopping me. Luckily there was some space and I was able to avoid a collision, but it was quite the "holy dermot" experience. I havent even put 100 miles on it since the last trip to the dealership.

This constant breaking of important components is getting old, and rather expensive.

Brake failing would result in selling off the beast
Most likely getting a lawyer activated when 100miles past service

MMC is misusing early M3W customers as human guinea pigs.

Yes, this is the most likely course.

The MMC were almost using early M3W owners as crash test dummies.

My first thoughts through my head as the pedal hit the floor were, "I must somehow be on the clutch," then when I wasn't, "I wonder how bad this will hurt without airbags," then I downshifted and smashed the pedal down hard and there was just a little bit of stopping power there, enough that I did not smack the car in front of me.

1st..Check for oil leaks
- check the bleeding nipples if they are tight or not
-then bleed the brake system.

And next time try the "emergency" brake.

👍

There should have been some braking effect as its a dual circuit system. Think the split is front/rear.

My breaks went last on the Albert ball run , the rubber nipple shot up in the air as my foot went to the floor , break fluid all over the place , limped back to hotel tightened up the bleed nipple and limp home back to uk

Don't understand where the failure was - one of the front calipers? What bit shot up in the air? If it was a loose bleed nipple, should have been able to re-bleed the brakes and be good to go (or stop, as the case may be...). But I've never seen one work loose before.
