The man at the cluth centre said i should completly drain and renew the brake fluid as suggested by someone on here, i was told it has already been done but i suppose if i do it myself i know its been done, now can i completly drain out through the calipers and gravilty feed the refill 1 at a time or should it be done professionly?

Its in for a new clutch today, i wasnt going to have the clutch done untill i was certain the pedal juddar wasnt going to be to serious, but i really like the car (its the ghia x with all the trimmings) ive decided whatever the fault it can be fixed...... its not quite ready for the scrapyard just yet. im thinking faulty servo because there is no rumble or wobble or vibration on normal drive low or high speed, just the very slight gurgling from the bulkhead which then results in brake pedal judder, like i say its a real slowed down version of abs activation and i think garages just want to say its this or that and gonna cost ££££s if I had to place a bet i would say knackerd servo but then when the pedals not juddering everything is a ok

hmmm i had my suspucions ;-)

Not sure of the brand i had the above work done at a garage.

I had new pads and discs in july and this seemed to make the pedal judder happen very rarely however within a week it came back gradually to practicly everytime i applied tge breaks, 4 weeks ago i renewed a front caliper as it was not working on the back side of the disc and again fixed the judder for a week. I have no lights bar the air bag staying on and bar the judder the pedal preasure etc feels normal.

Ok, back to the break judder .... what would the symptons be if the servo was not working, i do have a very basic mechanical knowlwdge of old escorts astra cavaliers etc but now everything has gone electrical and left me stuck in the eighties, lol im not even sure it has a servo lol and yes its a mk 2 i belive (02 reg)

when i first got the car i had it into what has since turned out to be a bad garage, but i was told they had done a fluid change which i assume means a bleed aswell how can i check this has been done?, also the light flashes 4 times and then 3 time (both these flash 3 times before staying on) thanks for replying E55EX-RACER Thanks for the welcome buddy

Hey scorps, as i understand it, the abs light comes into the mot from next year for permantly on :-) so yes it needs sorting out aswell but im assured its a faulty sensor and yes mate fluids are all good.

Hi People im new to this site but am hopeing you can assist with my problem???? I have an 02 reg 2L mondeo estate, that has what can only be described as a half arsed attempt at abs activation, there fore not brake discs or pads (which i had renewed just incase) my brakes work fine but sometimes i feel they could have pulled me up a couple of meters shorter than they did, if i listen closely i can hear a quite fast ticking and possibly a gurgling sound from somewhere up front, i thinks its bulk head area and wife thinks its centre lower console area,and thats when the brake peddal shudders on use, if there is no ticking the pedal works fine??? i have little funds and can not afford the fords " hook it up on the computer for £100 an hour and could take 8 hours" approach, on a side note my air bag light is permantly illuminated altho im assured from the previous owner it has never been in an accident .... connected? Appreciate any assistance offered folks
