Brakes Solid And Stuck On

[weejimmy 1]

306 td here but close enough,

the front brakes are sticking on and the peddel is rock solid,

 

if it was just the solid pedal i would think servo

or if it was just the sticking brakes (which release when i open brake nipple) i would have thought master cylinder.

but both at same time?? any ideas whats wrong?

its lashing down with rain/wind so rather narrow my otions down in my room where its warm and dry than go trial and error outside

Had a new master cylinder on it at all, or took it off for anything?

 

Sounds very much like there's not enough clearance between the servo pushrod and the M/C

front or rear? or all 4?

Master cylinder failed and not returning is my bet, seen a couple of cars with this now, if you take the master cylinder off you will find it stuck halfway in and sticky, and won't therefore return properly itself.

ill take m/s off tomorow and have a look.

thanks
