Re: IML: imperial brake problem

Sometimes, a master cylinder can be used on both disk brake cars and non disk brake cars. If it is used with drum brakes, there wll be a check valve in the fitting hole to keep some pressure in the line. For disk brake cars, this valve is removed. You could also have a bad hydraulic brake hose that is acting like a check valve. Of course, it could be a bad caliper cylinder too.
