2000 p38 4.0 with new engine 300 miles ago - and new rad, battery, water pump, thermostat, hoses, alternator, heater matrix, exhaust and respray in previous 12 months!!
The brakes failed totally. Stopped car tried again and everything ok - then they went again 2 days later - diagnostics showed nothing obvious - everything checked out by local garage and typically nothing obvious showing and brakes working fine!!
Anyway after much googling we've come to the conclusion that a faulty accumulator may be the problem. The pump works for 5 - 10 seconds on start up - the first fail had it running for a lot longer though - hasnt done it since and I'm pretty sure it hasn't caused it to burn out.
What is the proceedure for changing one of these please?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
