S2 Esprit Brakes
Discussion
Must admit I have doubts about the master cylinder. We have checked the servo and that seems to be working fine.
We are changing callipers and front discs and pads this weekend. The callipers have never changed as far as we can work out and the car is at 80k so they are past their sell by date. Discs and pads are a no brainer as are so cheap and they are worn. If all that plus a good bleed don't sort the problem then I will do the master cylinder. Hopefully there is a rebuild kit available.
cheers

Always start with bleeding the rear near side calliper, they have quite a hard time being next to the exhaust manifold. What with use of the brakes and heat from the manifold sitting in traffic it causes the brake fluid to boil up and get air in the system.
You'll also find out if it needs a rebuild, they get lazy when they heat up and bind a bit when hot.
