They have an MGF, LHD, with the brake pedal that goes to the floor. They've replaced the master cylinder, bled the circuit, check everything, and the car still has no brakes and the pedal that goes to the floor. There's no leaks etc.
Any ideas ? apart from a dud new master cylinder ?
Thanks
Pete.

Not sure how they bled the system, But the last time I had this problem (MGF, with ABS) I had to use a pressure Bleed to purge the system.
Alternatively if they open the bleed screw, leave it open whilst pumping the pedal it sometimes does not push the fluid through it just pushes it backwards and forwards, So then you need to push the pedal down, Lock the bleed screw, lift the pedal This makes sure that the fluid is sucked into the system from the reservoir, Open the bleed screw and repeat.
