I've got a H Reg Scorpio. the problem is when i keep pumping the brake pedal. brake fluid comes out of the top of the filler cap. does anybody know the reason for this problem?

In the ABS unit? Is the fluid coming out there or at the brake master cylinder?

if you keep pumping the pedal on the TEVES then the fluid WILL overspill from memory .. turn the ignition on wait for the abs pump to stop running and check the level at that point .. cheers ..STN

HI malc ... change the abs master then ... £1500 quid new < never known anyone to buy one ..naturally > ..and thirty bob and a rabbit second hand < £ 25.00 maybe > .. not to bad a job either really .. there is a complex modulator on the other bulkhead which can play up and cause the same thing but they are pretty bulletproof > .. take martin up on his offer quick !! ...regards STN
