After say ten mins of driving when i assume things have started to warm up i get a what i describe as a chirp sound coming from the front nearside brake. this sound seams to increase and decrease in frequency with speed . also by touching the brake peddle lightly the noise stops and also by steering left or right the noise stops .Anyone got any thoughts on this.

Re Brake bleeding after spending more hrs trying once more to bleed brakes this time with my son on peddle operation  still no success .further developments are that when the peddle is released bubbles appear in the m c and even after several pumps the fluid level does not go down in the m c  .all thoughts welcome. ta.

What is your bleeding method? Hose in a jam jar? Plugged hose with a slit? Fancy valve thing? Eezybleed? Skilled assistant?

I do the oppsite if I am having difficulty with bleeding. I wind the brake adjusters out. Actually, that may force the wheel cylinder pistons in? Whatever it does, I think having no available movement car help.

The foolproof method is to have a (preferably) glamourous assistant working the break pedal while I open/close te bleed nipple so no air can be drawn in. A dollop of rubber grease around the nipple should do the same job.

Or use a vacuum bleeder? A big syringe would do it.

Recently had to swap a clutch slave on our MX5. That was a tricky little bugger, and needed manual open/closing of the nipple to bleed it. Clutch master on that used all plastic internals, the OEM seal kit came pre assembled and initially I thought it was a mock-up or suchlike, but no, removing the original that was exactly the same. Made me wonder about the brake master....

jam jar and a length of 2x1to operate peddle

after only 35 years of ownership of my spit 1500 i have done everything you can do to maintain and sort out the breaks on this car .i know them inside out and upside down .today i put new rear flexi break pipes on, the originals were looking a bit tired after 40 years .i have now spent over 2 hrs trying to bleed the system with no success i just get bubbles galore for ever and ever .having never had this problem before i need some advise as to probable cause and any ideas on how to rectify this. thanks 

thanks
