My dad drives a Renault Megane Scenic
ukerofl and I, being related, am obliged to assist in the repair of said car. Well he came back on Friday night from a 500 mile trip with the last 30 miles or so having to drive slow and use the hand brake because a brake pipe had broken, the brake fluid obviously disappeared and by the time I got to it there was nothing left in the system. I repaired the pipe in about 5-10 mins but I spent about 2 hours, using a pressure bleeding kit, trying to bleed the brakes. The bottom line is there are still no brakes and I've no idea why so far. I tried every possible sequence I could think of and checked and double checked for any extra bleed nipples around the master cylinder but can't find anything. Does anyone have any suggestions?
