If the brakes can't lock the front wheels - something seriously wrong!

We've solved the problem

after a good look around the braking system, me and my dad found that i wired the brakes in wrong to the bias valve, the fronts where going through where the backs should go and vica versa, so the valve was restricting power to the fronts not the backs....

i have no idea why the brakes were alright for so long before they started to play up!!

i think i messed up the plumbing when i was cleaning up the valve and swapped the brake pipe over to help me clean it, then forgot that i did it!!!

any how

Thanks for all of your help and i'm very happy to be able to stop propery again!!! :)

I was about to say that - honest!

The valve is upside down so the inlets have become the outlets & the front will be the back if the pipes have stayed in the same order.
