06 Dispatch Brake Diagnostic

Post by jwollerton »

Hey all -

This is a question that has been asked before but I'm trying to get as close to a defiant answer before I go find fresh parts.

I suspect the vaccum pump to have gone on my dispatch - the brakes still work, just with a huge amount of pressure compared to before. 

Removing the vaccum lines, I can feel a suck on my fingers - but not a very strong one. How strong should it be ? 

Also there is a slow oil leak coming next to the pump. 

Brake master has full fluid and disks/pads are fine. 

Is it a simple bolt off and on job to replace it or is it more complexed ? 

Thanks!

sorted I think - one of the vaccum lines from the cylinder to the pump have kinked and sucked themselves shut. replace and see!
