Something strange happening today.
Needing to move the car due to moving house and last year I struggled through a Fuel Tank replacement, + rear disc conversion with new ATE Master Cylinder & Servo + Mk4 rear calipers.
This morning I went to put some fuel in it so I can make the 20 minute drive to the new home. Pulled of the drive no issues, just a slight bind on rears, assume from being sat for 6 months. After the 3 mile round trip to the petrol station and back the car was struggling to drive and when parked on the drive brakes were about 70% stuck on. The car would move but reluctantly.
As I walked round the back with no key in the car I see the brake lights stuck on….. What would cause the system to remain pressurised ?????
The inline pressure regulators that are located near the Servo are still in place and also the compensator on the rear beam.
To overcome it for moving to the new house I have slacked and re-tightened a nipple on the MC just to relieve the pressure. Fingers crossed it will be ok for the short journey.

Think it will remove and see if that works but panic over right now as the f-ing thing wont start. Hoping it is just a electrical gremlin.
Need to get this thing sorted r sold this summer i think. Just a constant head ache to niggles that prevent enjoyment. Cheaper to hire a car for the 500 miles a year i do in it. Grrrrr
Thank you.

By the way running again. Dodgy hall sensor connection on the dizzy.
Maybe time for a electronic ignition upgrade. Seen a french company call 123 which might be a good fit.
Anyway back to brakes I am hopeful they will be cooperative for a short journey.
