Hello friends,
I recently ran into a very scary problem on my D. I was driving around as usual and the brakes felt normal, didn't catch my attention one way or another. Then after about an hour of driving (mostly on the freeway) I went to hit the brakes and the pedal went straight to the floor with almost no braking action. I tried pumping the pedal to see if it would "catch" or build up the hydraulic pressure, but it didn't work. For the rest of the drive home, the brakes were almost non-existent. I didn't get into an accident, but it was scary and closer than I would ever like to experience again in my DeLorean. I started it up again and drove around the block the next day and the brakes felt fine as if nothing had happened the day before.
There is no leaking from the master cylinder or any of the hoses or calipers. The pads are about halfway down, and the discs are fine.
Please help, I need to fix this before I can safely drive my D again.
Regards,
Adrian Dunker
