Brake problem

[Bozzy]

I most certainly have but there must be air in the system as I can hit the floor with the engine on or off, didn't get it on the ramp today but got it on stands and got under it, I couldn't locate the hiss as I could hear it wherever I was, it seemed to be everywhere underneath.

Any one lost a snake ?.

Another option is to run the abs system using inpa or the like when your bleeding the system, this should clear the air possibly trapped.

I'm hoping to accuire our Gary's old laptop when he gets his new one sorted so that I can buy INPA and get used to using it, but, at the present time I don't have access.

I’m running inpa on a windows xp laptop, when it gives up not sure what I will do.

I think I’ve found the problem...a swollen brake-line.

I thought with INPA you needed a laptop with a old serial port to be able to have all the options. Or did I misunderstand something?

Yes for the very early cars you are correct.

No problem with mine using USB (02, 2.2), haven't tried to access everything but the bits I have looked at were all there. Must get round to getting something a bit more convenient for using on the car, this old laptop's a bit big and clunky.

Can it be used from an iPad?

Tony.

 

[gookah]

its Windows based, so no iOS or Android, or even Mac

Thanks Pete, just a thought.

yes its a pity, tablets are a lot easier.
I have Carly on an android tablet, and my phone, but while its great for coding, I don't have as much experience of it for code reading/ fault finding/ operating outputs , etc etc.

I paid £45 for a laptop from eBay and put inpa on that instead.
It stays in the garage, has iTunes and Spotify on it and is coupled up to a set of speakers and small subwoofer, so It plays Eagles/Clapton whilst I work, alongside Supertramp and the UK top 40.. and now and again it gets plugged in to a car.
